SIR – I am writing concerning an issue that has cropped up about cover of doctors at some hospitals at the weekends. The brilliant Bradford Royal Infirmary has excellent weekend cover as I know because I was a patient for five weeks.

My top consultants Dr Akbani, Dr Stoves, Dr Jefferies and renal team all do their usual rounds of the wards when it is their shift.

So people of Bradford and area get good care when admitted at the weekend. These doctors, nurses and staff work seven days a week and are dedicated to their job and all work hard.

Thank you all again for helping me to get to the best of health I can be.

Elaine Lightowler, Bradford Road, Clayton
