| Polly Toynbee’s article (The Tories knew there would be an NHS winter crisis but did nothing, theguardian.com, 3 January) notes that Jeremy Hunt “sent out a civil servant, Prof Keith Willett, director of acute care [to be interviewed on the radio], because he couldn’t be asked the crucial political question”.

| • Andrew Dean (Letters, 4 January) notes the preference of robins for dry shelter, including empty garages.
