I AM writing to express my thanks to all the people who gave me so much care to my late wife Margaret over the last six months of her illness.

My thanks include the doctors and telephonists at Greasby Medical Centre who made sure her needs were attended to without delay and with great professionalism, the district nurse team at West Kirby who ensured all her nursing needs were met and the wonderful carers at Aspire Care Support who kept her clean and comfortable four times a day, if necessary.

I would also like to thank the palliative care team, who ensured she had sufficient pain control, dietary requirements and equipment for comfort.

Names are too numerous, but I thank God we have such people to rely on in our area.

Mr P J Neary, Greasby
