MIXED SEX HOSPITAL WARDS

Early day motion 806, tabled 29 January 2008 by Nigel Evans (Conservative). Signed by 30 members.

That this House notes the Labour Party Manifesto of 1997 which said that `we will work towards the elimination of mixed sex wards'; further notes the Labour Party Manifesto of 2001 which said that `mixed sex wards will be abolished'; recognises that mixed sex wards are a large concern for many patients; realises that dignity and privacy should be afforded to all patients; and calls on the Government to honour its previous manifesto promises and abolish mixed sex wards and to provide a timetable for when this will be achieved.
