Mixed sex wards: 11k NHS patients placed in units in 1 month | Mail Online

Nearly half of all hospitals in England placed patients in mixed-sex wards in December, official figures revealed today.

NHS Trusts admitted that more than eleven thousand patients were placed in mixed sex wards last month without any justification.

The Department of Health data revealed that 92 per cent of the breaches took place in acute hospital trusts, which include centres that offer more specialised care.
