I WAS fascinated by a series on the BBC regarding the work carried out at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children.

That was medicine at its finest. The doctors and consultants are the best in the world.

Sadly some of the poorly children didn't make it.

I couldn't help but admire the professionalism of the staff, and the hours they worked.

Whatever the salaries they are on, they should be doubled.

Their work puts the wages of some of our so-called top footballers to shame.

It wouldn't be a bad idea, if some of their salaries were donated to somewhere like Great Ormond Street.
