RECENTLY my daughter left her purse on he WRVS counter in York District Hospital. She only discovered this loss 50-odd miles up the road to Hull.

As soon as she could she telephoned me of this loss as she was to be away from home for some days. I at once phoned the hospital and I was duly informed that the purse has been found and handed in to the main reception desk. My daughter collected the purse a few days later and found the contents intact.

My daughter joins me in saying a big thank you to York District Hospital and every one concerned with the recovery of her purse.
