RECENTLY, while in Fairfield Hospital, I was admitted to a ward of mixed gender, and although the nursing staff did their very best to maintain the dignity of the patients it was inevitable that some of the more confused patients would frequently be in a state of undress. I found this very distressing.
Could I appeal to the hospital authorities to please review this policy of mixed wards.
