How sad it was to read Billy Cairns' letter regarding Wiltshire Ambulance Service and the need for us to write in praise of the Ambulance Service.

All too often we appear to take these services for granted and forget to say thank you.

I, for one, cannot speak highly enough of the Ambulance Service.

Morale must now be very low among the staff who do a first rate job.

As the sister of a relative who has regularly required urgent medical assistance, the service she has received has been first rate.

I am only sorry that this appears not to be one of the main criteria when handing out scores.

Thank you very much to you all.
