Declaration of compliance
Wolverhampton
City Primary care Trust is pleased to confirm that we are
compliant with the Government’s requirement to eliminate mixed-sex
accommodation, except when it is in the patient’s overall best
interest, or reflects their personal choice. We have the necessary
facilities, resources and culture to ensure that patients who are
admitted to our hospitals will only share the room where they sleep
with members of the same sex, and same-sex toilets and bathrooms
will be close to their bed area. Sharing with members of the
opposite sex will only happen when clinically necessary or when
patients actively choose to share.
If our care should fall short of the required
standard, we will report it. We will also set up an audit mechanism
to make sure that we do not misclassify any of our reports. We will
publish the results of that audit in June 2011 in our Quality
Counts, our annual report on the quality of services which we
provide.
