NHS Develops “Multi-faith dignity gowns”

Nada Fawal, a member of the patient focus group who helped introduce the gown is apparently delighted. The idea for the product came about after several Muslim patients complained about having their flesh exposed and their religious beliefs violated.

“Now, thanks to the new gown, we won’t have to worry about it, we can just request one of those – it’s a great relief.”

Ms. Miller added: “Our trust is always seeking to improve the experiences of our patients and patient feedback is incredibly important to us. We work with as many minority and religious groups as possible to make sure we are catering for the needs of all our patients.”

Jon Stanley, a junior doctor in Scotland, told Breitbart London that he welcomed freedom of choice but was concerned that tax payers’ money might have been used unfairly.

“It begs the question as to why this never seems to have been demanded before. It seems like a money grab. They look a lot more expensive than normal gowns, and while a personal choice of clothing is to be welcomed, a patient who wants this kind of thing should purchase it themselves.

“If we want to empower and give dignity to patients, let them wear whatever they like as long as it doesn’t interfere with their care, and let THEM pay for it.”

Honestly, why bother making them a hospital gown on at all? If Muslim women don’t want doctors to touch them or “violate” their religion, then why do they even go to hospitals? We’ll see how long this lasts when doctors start losing patients to the ridiculous amount of clothing they have to sort through.
