SIR, I was delighted to read PJ Watson's letter in last week's Beacon. I too had to be admitted to Nevill Hall and had a two week stay under their care. It is fashionable to knock the NHS but I have nothing but praise for the staff there. From senior consultants down to junior nurses I was treated with efficiency and cheerful kindness. The ward was spotless and cleaned thoroughly every day and even the food was pretty good. Plus the view of the Sugarloaf from my bed was magnificent and lifted the heart. Thank you Nevill Hall.
