"I felt that I must write to thank you and your colleagues for all the excellent support I have received over the last few years and especially just recently, when I gave you a daunting task of finding a Locum for us from June 06 until the end of October 06.
As you are aware, we depend on Locums to keep our doors open and, once again, you all worked so hard to achieve the impossible! I am now, thanks to you, fully covered for the dates required.
We really appreciate all you have done and I sincerely thank you and your colleagues for everything. I am certain we would not have survived the very testing times here without your support and assistance. Long may it continue!"
