ON October 2 I was admitted to Warrington Hospital with severe breathing problems.

The first response ambulance arrived at my property within 10 minutes.

The second ambulance arrived shortly afterwards.

I was admitted to ICU and then to ward A7.

The staff, from the cleaners to the consultants, were exemplary.

The care, compassion and professionalism shown was fantastic.

I would just like to thank all those involved in my care. I wish I could say it was a pleasant experience but you made the situation much more bearable.
