I SHOULD like to endorse the letter from Eric Mandell regarding our local health services with the example of my own recent experiences.
Over the last year my husband's health began to deteriorate and we paid several visits to the emergency department of Chippenham Community Hospital.
There my husband received immediate expert help in a pleasant and supportive environment.
On two occasions when I called the ambulance, it arrived within five minutes of my telephone call.
When my husband had to be admitted to the Royal United Hospital, Bath, he was given all possible care until his death. My thanks go to the NHS and all who work in it.
