OVER the past few months, Basildon Hospital has been the subject of negative publicity from both newspaper and television reports, and I assume the people responsible for said reports have never been a patient in the hospital.
I recently had to spend a short time in the hospital, partly in William Harvey Ward and partly in Edith Cavell Ward.
The cleanliness in both wards was extremely thorough. Despite all the many problems and provocation they dealt with, I found all of the nurses to be dedicated professionals, always courteous, understanding and kind.
I would like to thank all the doctors and nurses who treated me for aiding my recovery, and I would have no hesitation in recommending Basildon Hospital to anyone. – BRYAN VANDEPEER, Grays
