Hexham Hospital is an amazing place - went there yesterday as Vera Lonsdale, a lovely lady of advanced years [I cannot tell her age, as she is a good friend of mine] was in ward 3 recovering from surgery to her left knee. I had a good chat with the nurses, who run a great ward [as do all the hospital staff] and took Vera a bunch of flowers. We all wish her well, and thank the Lord we have such a great hospital on our doorstep.
That having been said I have to congratulate the team behind the new Hospital that is being built at Cramlington for getting their plan approved by planning. The quality of the healthcare in Northumberland and Newcastle is outstanding.
