The committee of fund-raising groups and of individuals throughout the community has been a vital factor in enabling North West Hospice to provide and develop its service over the past 21 years.

It must be added, however, that our partnership with the health board/HSE has also been an essential element in this and that it involves ongoing practical support, including substantial funding. - Yours, etc,

MICHAEL McGLOIN, Chairperson, North West Hospice, Sligo.
