so you can't think of one culture where men and women are segregated, no?

what about the one where some women cover their hair and faces in public, are you honestly telling me that they will be lying in a hospital bed next to a man?

They would have to be moved to a side room or similar ,so costing the NHS more £$

Those kinds of people would have all kinds of issues with the set up of a Western hospital regardless of any possible gender divide.

Does it require an entire restructure of our hospitals? Not really.

Those kinds of people as you refer to them make up 70 per cent if the area that I live in Our hospitals are set up as are male and female in the main with the occasional mixed ward so no restructuring required
