Sir – I should be pleased if you would add my wholehearted support to the sentiments expressed by Mr M. Havinden (Letters, May 29). The front-line medical service I have received through the NHS system has been second to none.
This includes the local GP service and ambulance service as well as the hospital service provided at the John Radcliffe Hospital.
Over the last 16 years, I have spent weeks being treated in the hospital, which include many hours in the A&E and GP referral units where I have witnessed many diverse problems handled in a caring and professional manner.
In reality, the Oxfordshire NHS Services have not only saved my life, they have created an opportunity for me to enjoy a happy retirement for which I am most grateful.
Fred Leach, Wantage
