I COULD not believe it when I read a letter saying how bad York Hospital was.

I spent five weeks with a broken hip and I have never been treated better. If you apologised to a nurse for being a nuisance the answer was "we are here to look after you and make you comfortable".

The staff were kindness itself and the beds were jolly comfortable.

For our meals we had a choice every day which came piping hot. The porridge was super. I enjoyed every meal. What kind of food do some people enjoy?
