DEAR Editor,-
In the five years since moving to the South Coast, I have been knitting baby clothes and blankets for donation to the Port Shepstone Regional Hospital’s maternity ward.

Last weekend I went to the hospital with my box of goodies and arrived on the fourth floor at 9.43am. The sister on duty advised me to hand the donation directly to the matron in charge since she would be the person responsible for distribution.
Numerous phone calls later she was told to send me to the labour ward, where the matron would be.
At the labour ward I was told that the matron was not there and the phone calls started all over again. By this time it was 10.40am and I was getting very agitated.
The result was that I walked out with my box intact. My husband drove me to Murchison Hospital where a female security officer accompanied me to the maternity ward and the sister in charge accepted the donation without any fuss.
It was a pleasure to visit Murchison Hospital and any future donations that I have will definitely be taken there.
