The family of a Montgomeryshire man who died in November have donated £800 in donations made at his funeral to the unit where he was treated at the Royal Shrewsbury Hospital.

Judy Watkins was joined by sons Edward 14, Harry 17 and Thomas, 18 at the presentation, where one of the nurses who cared for her late husband Meyrick received the cheque on behalf of the hospital.

Mrs Watkins praised the care she had received in the relatives room and described the ITU as a “brilliant facility”.

“They also looked after the boys, explaining everything to them about what was going to happen to their dad,” she said.

“The first thing we said after my Meyrick passed away was to decide the funeral donations were going to go to ITU to help save someone going through what we have to go through.”
