Muslim women get their own NHS burka-style gown

Muslim women could soon be offered a burka-style gown in NHS hospitals.



Doctors fear that many do not seek treatment because the standard issue gowns are not modest enough.

The Inter-Faith Gown is being piloted at the Royal Preston Hospital.

It reveals only the hands and eyes and has been introduced following claims from Muslim women that the regulation dress was too revealing and therefore contrary to their faith.
