WITH reference to the letter "Disgusting Food" (January 21), I do not agree with Carol Miller.

I was an emergency admission to York Hospital recently. I spent ten days on Ward 29 and was treated with kindness from the ambulance personnel, the surgical team and all the staff during my stay.

The food was good. There was a choice of menu every day and the hot food was invariably hot.

The National Health Service may be in dire straits, but it does not affect the treatment given to patients.

Carol Miller must have had a different experience in another hospital to the one I was in.
