CALLING the Billinge babes of yesteryear!

Are you as old as the national health service? If so then the maternity staff at Billinge hospital want you. The staff are in search of people born 50 years ago this summer at Billinge hospital, as they share their birthday's with the NHS.

Anyone born at Billinge Hospital on July 5 1948, and who would like to be invited to a get together as part of the NHS celebrations, should contact Ronnie Carlisle, Clinical Nurse Manager at the Roy Hartley Women's Unit, Billinge Hospital (01695 626093).

"It will be an unusual reunion," says Ronnie, "as the guests can't be expected to remember each other from their first meeting!"
