Sir.–Last month, I was walking with my dog when I had a fall which resulted in a broken hip.

I would be grateful if you could convey my thanks to my neighbour Chris Powell, who alerted my husband and the staff of Sandringham Court, who contacted the emergency services.

I wish to also extend my gratitude to Basingstoke hospital, especially Mr Haskins and the team and all the staff for the excellent care and attention received.

–Mrs Catherine Mears, Paddock Road, Basingstoke.
