I WOULD like to express through your column my sincere thanks to Dr Turvill and his team, but also all the staff on Ward 32 of York Hospital.

My husband, Brian Taylor, was admitted to the hospital on March 26 and sadly died of cancer on April 7.

Everyone showed so much care and kindness to both of us.

In these times of cutbacks and criticism of the hospital and NHS, I can give nothing but praise for the way that we were treated.
