I READ with incredulity the front page article in the Standard of June 12 regarding Larry Smith. My husband and I moved to Lechlade four years ago and registered with Lechlade Medical Centre. It is the best medical practice we have ever come across and we are the envy of friends and family for the wonderful service we receive.

I have recently been in hospital twice for operations. I was delighted to receive a call from one of our GPs after I returned home to enquire how my recovery was progressing. After the second operation , I needed the service of the nurses at our surgery three times and I could not have asked for better care.
