'Nurses will turn beds to Mecca' vow - Lancashire Telegraph 5th December 2007

Yorkshire health chiefs hit the headlines this week after it emerged that staff there had been moving beds for prayers five times a day to make Muslims' stay in hospital "more comfortable". A spokesman for East Lancashire Hospitals Trust, which runs both Burnley General Hospital and the Royal Blackburn Hospital, said that although no requests had yet been received, staff would move beds if requested to do so.
