May I, through your letters’ column, say thank you to the doctors and, especially, the nurses on Exe Ward at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hopsital? They looked after me so well after my operation over the bank holiday weekend.

After reading so many negative reports on the NHS, I can only say the treatment and care I received was excellent.

I think we are all very lucky to have a great hospital like the RD&E.
