I READ with interest your recent article about the infection problems at Warrington and Halton Hospitals.

As I was due to go to Halton myself for an operation the following Monday, I was filled with dismay. However, my fears proved to be unfounded. The level of service and hygiene on Ward B4 was superb. The food was hot and appetising and all staff were friendly and approachable.

I thought I should write to set the record straight from a recent patient's point of view.
