title: Hillsborough response.
abstract: The comments put forward by Mike Walsh on the tragedy at Hillsborough ('You'll never walk alone', Nursing Standard week ending April 29) took many of my colleagues, including myself by surprise. The lessons to be learnt will only become more apparent when Lord Justice Taylor has completed his extensive enquiries into what exactly happened on that tragic day. Comments put forward at this moment in time by 'instant experts' are of benefit to no one especially when many aspects of the tragedy remain hidden and many more facts have yet to be brought to light. Your readers can be assured that my colleagues and I intend to prepare a full account of what happened within this department on that day, a day which will remain with many of us for a long time to come. Charge Nurse, A&E, Royal Hallamshire, Sheffield.
