I wonder if the new gown will incorporate an "optional" head-covering for female patients

News that the NHS are to phase out traditional hospital gowns wards across Britain, after patients complained that the garments left their bottoms exposed, left me feeling conflicted. Whilst I am glad that I will no longer have to perform the the rather odd clutching the rear of the gown walk in the future, I am awaiting with interest the redesigned gown expecting an "optional" head-covering to be incorporated. Am I being unduly cynical? Time will tell.
