Sir – It is splendid news that the ORH NHS Trust is taking on board the wishes of patients to provide specific male and female lavatories and showers.
Patients have also told us that they would appreciate the words “Male” and “Female” on the doors. With symbols, it is so easy to make a mistake if you are not concentrating or feeling unwell. Please, ORH Trust take note of these wishes for all your wards.
