23a. Devout pronouncement for religious leader? ?i?s

28a. Where kind people raise issue on behalf of others (6-4) ?o?t?* ?o?e

24d. Flourish of tragic hero is hard to follow ?*?N?I?H (fiendish?)

38a. Occupation of NHS patient needing treatment. t?N?N?S?I?

(where the * is, means the answers intersect)

thanks for any suggestions!

Hi Jonny.

8d. Fly Canadian over US city? C?n?y ... Might be CANNY especially if the clue starts "Sly Canadian ...."?

sorry 23a - A word meaning Devout sounds like the name of a religeous leader.
Do you want answers?

JimC, Trevor sorry about that, it was a cry for help rather than a request for answers

Should ba A religeous leader sounds like a word meaning Devout.(religeous leader is the definition).
Also Canny is correct (super fly guy)
