THE improvement in the cleanliness in Whipps Cross University Hospital, has resulted in it being moved off the clean hospital red status (Guardian, November 15). This is very much welcome.

Being advanced to amber status indicates there is lots more yet to be done, which makes a nonsense of the previous claims and unreserved apologies given to me some year ago.

Due to my keeping a watchful eye for personal reasons, I was informed in a letter of November 8 that the Commission for Health Improvement will be holding a review of the hospital which will start on January 7, 2002 and will last for six months.

An informal meeting for members of the public to discuss their experiences will take place in February.

It will accept, not only on behalf of my late wife, but also on behalf of other readers who contacted me following the publishing of my letter in the Guardian last August.

The address of the Commission for Health Improvement is Finsbury Tower, Bunhill Row. London EC1Y 8TG,but for anyone who wishes to contact me, my address is as below.
