Quotes

"If you build a housing estate in the wrong place at the wrong time it might solve a temporary problem but at the cost of creating far greater ones later."
"The letter from Robbie is very special to us, as even though he has other commitments that day, he still made time to write to us and send his best wishes."
A spokeswoman for WAHT added: "We fully understand the concerns of our A&E colleagues. Like hospitals across the country Worcestershire Royal and the Alexandra are experiencing increased emergency admissions and have done so all winter. This puts enormous pressure on the entire healthcare system and we are working with colleagues across health and social care to improve the flow of patients throughout the system."
"This case again demonstrates the importance of doing so and the consequences of failing to" she said
