Sir – I am very disappointed to hear of the “temporary” closure of Wenrisc ward at Witney hospital.

I suffered a SAH in July 2012 and Witney hospital played a huge part in my rehabilitation.

What really helped was the fact it was local which enabled me to come home from time to time.

The staff were fantastic. Very patient, understanding and helped far more then just practically but emotionally too.

I really don’t think I would be in the place I am now if it wasn’t for them.
