Naming the new children’s hospital

Sir, – I note that the body planning the new children's hospital has recruited a branding agency ("Five consortiums shortlisted to build new national children's hospital", March 31st). Was this an early April Fool's joke? – Yours, etc,

Sir, – In relation to a new name for the children’s hospital, I would like to suggest “The Jam”.

It is cheerful and non-intimidating to the children, and it also describes perfectly the traffic that the parents or guardians of our country’s sickest children will face each and every time they are forced to attend the hospital if it is built on the already overcongested St James’s site. – Yours, etc,
