Sir, - Gay Mitchell's statement (Prime Time, February 15th) that he will (if in power) establish a highly dedicated, adequately funded and staffed, health ombudsperson is revolutionary, visionary and lifts the heart. It will guarantee (in so far as anything human can be guaranteed) that we will move from a health shambles to a health service. - Yours, etc.,
Gerard Sheehy, BE, MA, MNCP,Blackrock, Dublin.
