Letter: In Brief
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: Most sensible people will applaud Mr Dobson's emphasis on reducing hospital waiting lists , but I defy anyone to improve upon our recent experience in Oxford. My wife suffered a partial paralysis last Wednesday, was admitted to the Radcliffe Infirmary on Thursday, where she had a scan which confirmed a "slipped disc". The surgeon operated on Friday morning.
By Monday afternoon Jenny was back home and rushing around on her Zimmer frame. Beat that! Anywhere in the world. The NHS seems to be safe in these hands.
TERRY EATON
