I HAVE just gone onto the Helen House website. I am appalled how cold and curt the statement regarding Sister Frances is from the trustees.

They make it quite clear that they are not supporting Sister Frances (pictured above with Her Majesty The Queen).

Correct me if I’m wrong but if there were any truth in these allegations then it would have been bigger news as she would have been prosecuted.

How dare these people throw her out like a piece of rubbish.

I have lived in Oxford all my life and always respected the work and care Sister Frances has given.

I was lucky enough to meet her at a fundraiser our church did and the warmth and kindness she gives off is infectious.

This hospice must be missing her dreadfully.

In the time she has been away, how many families have missed out on the care and help she could have given.

The trustees should all be held accountable for a very poor decision to not back her. The whole thing is just ridiculous.
