Hospitals urged to offer patients more gown sizes

Hospitals urged to offer patients more gown sizes Hospitals are being asked to offer a wider range of gown sizes to better protect patients' dignity.

It follows the experience of a patient from Wiltshire who said she was offered a gown that was "far too small" during a hospital stay in Bristol.

Barbara Gale said it gaped at the back and made her feel "embarrassed".

An NHS Supply Chain spokeswoman said it offers a range of "reusable patient gowns" with multiple sizing, which NHS trusts can use. BBC News
