HAVING recently spent a week in the Royal Gwent Hospital I would like to say how wonderful all the members of staff were who I came into contact with, from the surgeons down to the porters.

They get a lot of stick at times but I have no complaints.

I was on ward B7 West and the nurses there were very kind and caring.

A big thank-you to them all.
