OUR five-year-old daughter was recently blue-lighted to Arrowe Park Hospital.
From the moment the paramedics entered our home the professionalism, reassurance and care was outstanding, caring for her, but also looking after us as a distressed family.
The staff waiting in majors / accident and emergency were incredible, the interaction with our daughter was so caring, trying distract her while bloods were being taken.
I would like to thank the entire team on behalf of us all, and each and every member of staff we encountered was a credit to our NHS.
My fear if our NHS is ever privatised then our children will be at risk, the cost of an emergency admission will be out of many parents reach.
We need to fight for our NHS it is a national treasure.
Our daughter continues with treatment and is hopefully on the road to recovery.
With eternal thanks.
