Re: UK hospital introduced world's first burqa-style hospital gowns
That itself is EXTREMELY political. One of the cornerstones of Britain's socialised health service is that noone should pay to benefit from it. It would be outrageous to expect someone to pay for a hospital gown compatible with their religious beliefs. Free treatment means free treatment!
well, if we require something thats quite extra ordinary* - we need to pay the price.
*extra ordinary for England. I mean come on. I myself wouldn't like wearing small open gowns but on the other hand, these new gowns are going to be expensive. I already pay way too much tax - that is it for me.
