PLEASE find space in your letters page to convey my thanks to the kind and caring people who came to the aid of my husband when he sustained a nasty fall in Calmore Road on the evening of May 21.

As an 80-year-old asthmatic and fitted with a pacemaker and now with broken specs, he was so glad of their assistance.

Thanks to staff at the General for his overnight stay and to the hospital transport service. Special thanks to Ricky at Calmore Garage for calling the ambulance, kindly enquiries and the return of the newly serviced car.

MRS M CHATFIELD, Southampton.
