HAVING recently spent a few days in the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital (Wonford), I would like to say that my treatment throughout has been first class. From my arrival as an emergency admission at midnight to my care on the ward, everyone I met was professional, helpful and considerate. The troubles currently besetting the NHS were not evident at all to the great credit of the staff. I feel that it is important to record my positive experience so that others might feel reassured should they be in my position. Katherine Sargent Okehampton.
