SIR - I have been following the correspondence speculating on the year of closure of the maternity unit at St Luke's Hospital.

As a member of the St Luke's Hospital Nurses League I decided to look through my old magazines, and found that the facilities were transferred to the upgraded maternity unit at BRI at the end of 1995.

This is further confirmed in a book published in 2001 by the Bradford Hospitals NHS Trust entitled Bradford Charity and the Public Purse by Gary Firth.

For some time after the transfer some anti-natal clinics continued at St Luke's.
