Yet another broken promise from the government. It's disgraceful and demeaning that mixed-sex wards should still exist. Obviously it's all down to money, but it's strange that the government can find the cash for failed computer projects and swathes of bureaucracy in the NHS, not to mention failed military adventures in foreign countries.
Willow's raised an interesting point though...I wonder how they do deal with muslim women in hospital? If my wife had to endure the indignity of a mixed-sex ward, while muslim females were in single-sex wards, I'd play merry hell!
