To the Editor:

As a resident of the Kincardine area, I was in the Kincardine hospital and was appalled at the poor-quality food and lack of nurses in the hospital. 

How on earth do (chief executive officer) Paul Davies and the hospital board expect the nurses to keep up with everything and do their job when there needs to be more nurses. It is disgusting!

(Huron-Bruce MPP) Carol Mitchell, what have you and (premier) Dalton McGuinty done for this area or our hospital in particular. All you've brought are tax increases and windmills which need more health studies first but you and your party just push them on the people.

I hope this is the end of the Liberals this (provincial) election. It's not hard to say things that you have done but how much was good for the area?

Editor's Note:

This writer had a complaint about the food at the Kincardine hospital and the lack of items to meet her dietary requirements as a diabetic. She contacted Davies and he called her with the following information:

• He would check into why there was no diabetic food available
• Patients can have more food if they ask for it
• The nutritional value of the food meets the Canada Food Guide
• He could not give her an answer about her concerns with the hospital food but would look into her complaint
• It costs $700 per week to feed a patient at the hospital
• Her complaint was the first he had received; her complaint to the hospital while a patient there was not forwarded to Davies
