I AM an 81-year-old woman who fell in the garden and badly cut my head on a stone pot.

My husband called for an ambulance and within ten minutes a paramedic was here.

I would like to say how wonderful the service is. He stitched my head at home and was so caring. He was here about an hour and a half.

I am all in favour of this service of dealing with you in the home. Not only does it help the patient, but avoided a long wait in A&E.

We read so many adverse comments about the NHS. I felt I should give them my heartfelt thanks for the wonderful work they do.
