Sir Gerry Atric?Huttonian should congratulate Berwick's long sitting Westminster MP on his trip to Buck House last week to receive a knighthood. See the report in the Berwickshire
hereBut my effusives are slightly diluted as I can't help remembering his response to my plea to sort out the way the Berwick Infimary had treated a very elderely and distinguished couple from Hutton-neglect plus indifference and the geriatic ward was in my view a disgrace to humanity particularily with regard to the attitude of the staff to their vulnerable charges. I said all this at a social occasion to the then plain Mr B (some 7 years ago) and promised to follow up with a detailed letter about the couple's experiences. He listened politely enough and responded ' Hmm.They were very good to my mother' And turned away.
Good to the MPs mother. Gosh.
What ever next
