I have been attending blood testing sessions at Knutsford for many years and must take exception to the remarks made by Valerie Dawson.

I have always found these to be carried out in a most efficient manner.

The two nurses have come through the morning rush-hour traffic from Macclesfield.

They are due to start the clinic at 9am but often start at 8.30am.

A group of six are called out for tests and are seated next to the door and take turns according to the number they have taken from the box.

Of course there will be a lot of people waiting - the average is 200 for the morning session.

If you go early your number will be low and you will be able to park your car.

The small book which records your result is returned by post to you the following day.

I cannot think of a more efficient way of blood testing such a large number of people.
