Mr. Harry Greenway
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what progress he is making towards the establishment of a choice between single sex and the mixed wards for all hospital patients; and if he will make a statement. [2196]
Mr. Horam
It is for the trusts and health authorities to decide for themselves how to use the resources available to them. The national health service executive has commissioned a survey of the current position on mixed-sex wards and will consider what action, if any, is required when the report of that survey is received.
