MICHAEL Foster, MP for Worcester, states (Evening News, December 24) that he is "looking forward to seeing our new hospital opening".

"After so many years of waiting, it has been delivered by the Labour Government".

It's a great pity the Labour Government did not remember that, with the opening, there should have been a student nurses' home, more car parking space and more beds, instead of more offices to rent.
