Public hospital mixed wards includes breast cancer surgery patients

I have been concerned about mixed wards for a while now and many of the pubic hospitals will place breast cancer surgery patients in mixed wards.. It seems to be across the board, no matter what surge...

My husband was in a public ward with women and he asked the staff to pull the curtain around him so he was not thought to be perving on the women (who did not take any measures to be respectable).  He was embarrassed.
Agree, a terrible situation.  It worked OK as separate wards for all those years.
