THANK you firstly for publishing my complaint (Letters, April 22) about the breast care nurses cut-backs.

Thank you, too, for the other letters about this which you published, and for giving these nurses the ultimate accolade - headlines on the front page.

It is obvious quite a lot of people feel as incensed as I, for it has amazed me how many people I know and did not know until now, who have gone out of their way to tell me so!

Once again, thank you, Telegraph. Just like the nurses, Hazel and Wendy, you, too, are 'angels.'

E HANRATTY (Mrs), Rosewood, Roe Lee, Blackburn.
