THE Lancashire Evening Telegraph does a great deal in righting wrongs for its readers.

Authorities fail to respond to such cases as Mrs Eveline Price's wheelchair ramp (LET, July 20), Mary Duxbury's wait for heart surgery (LET, July 8) and the poor chap who needed a stair lift (Letters, December 19) - until the muck hits the fan in LET.

But why do these people need to be shown up in the LET before anything gets done? If they are incapable of making the right decisions without the LET's help, perhaps they are in the wrong jobs.
