OVERWORKED nurses have been ordered to stop all medical work five times every day to move Muslim patients’ beds so they face towards Mecca.
The lengthy procedure, which also includes providing fresh bathing water, is creating turmoil among overstretched staff on bustling NHS wards.
But despite the havoc, Mid- Yorkshire NHS Trust says the rule must be instigated whenever possible to ensure Muslim patients have “a more comfortable stay in hospital”.
And a taxpayer-funded training programme for several hundred hospital staff has begun to ensure that all are familiar with the workings of the Muslim faith.
The scheme is initially being run at Dewsbury and District Hospital, West Yorkshire, but is set to be introduced at other hospitals in the new year.
It comes on the back of the introduction in some NHS hospitals last year of Burka-style gowns for Muslim patients who did not wish medical staff to see their face while operating or caring for them.

Why not just remove Mecca? solves the whole worlds problems!
Or make it really interesting and steal the sacred stone and put it into an unstable orbit while maintaining altitude so it never passes the same area, let all of Islam work on that problem.
If it were me, I would just throw the patient out of bed 4 times a day and turn them towards Mecca, and on the fifth time, I’d throw them out the window. Think that would work? LOL
Bend over for your wog masters!!
ping. Ummm....
“The sun has set on the British Empire.”
Sadly, I believe that you are right. I don’t understand their eagerness to capitulate to every real or perceived need or demand by one certain group. What is the primary motivation? Is it fear, or simply PC gone mad? I never in a million years would have imagined that this great country would come to such a point.
Nope, can’t have the beds always facing Mecca, because you can’t relieve yourself facing Mecca. Got to turn five times a day.
[Or to save money, just hold MRSA-ridden pillows over their faces...]
How about smallpox infested burkhas? Worked before with blankets...
UK, the new France.
Mecca is a segregated city. The UK should do nothing of the sort to pay tribute to such an intolerant place.
The death of England continues.
I wonder if the nurses have to wash the muslim patients with the proper cleansing rituals.
It is ritualized obsessive compulsive behavior (if you do one bit wrong, you have to start all over).
Or alternatively serve only bacon on toast at every meal.
