(as a relative),

Contacted re relative. Call handler was excellent very sympathetic but very efficient. Took information & put through to Catriona (I think ) was a worrying time but again very helpful/kind and excellent assessment of situation. Doctor home visit arranged and subsequent hospital admission arranged for investigations. Blood transfusions started today Thank you.
