FOLLOWING a recent stay in the County Hospital, I would like to pay a warm tribute to certain groups of helpers.

Based at the Hillside Centre, the Outreach Team have been quite wonderful in the way that they have cared for me after I fractured my spine. No praise is too much.

Finally, I want to mention the boys and girls of the Ambulance Service, who took me to the County Hospital on a number of occasions. Well done the teams.
