The South Wales Argus special edition commemorating the 70th anniversary of the NHS in Wales was an admirable production. Andy Rutherford's articles were a model of concise and detailed journalism combining historical and futuristic information with human interest stories reflecting the pride and satisfaction of both patients and health professionals. Of particular interest were the items on the development of "super surgeries" having a broader range of services than those currently available and the talks underway with Velindre on establishing a radio therapy unit at Nevill Hall hospital.
