Mixed sex wards are usually fine; mixed sex bays are already supposedly phased out.
I've been in mixed sex bays and they have been fine; the women did not suggest they were unhappy.
Isn't this more a problem of security, than mixed sex wards? It's the vulnerability of the old lady suffering from dementia being put in the situation that is the real story.
BTW, where did it say about patient confidentiality, DT? I didn't read that.
