HUGE thanks to the wonderful paramedics who responded to my 999 call on Easter Saturday afternoon, when my niece's three-year-old daughter collapsed in my garden while playing.

It was a terrifying situation but they arrived within four minutes, closely followed by an ambulance crew and took care of her before taking her to Arrowe Park Hospital.

All we ever hear is criticism of the NHS and ambulance response times but these men who came to help us were nothing short of angels.

I am happy to say she has now recovered and we are all extremely grateful to our wonderful emergency services.
