NHS: Don't say mum and dad
I just wondered what any of you guys thought of this I saw it in the paper today
THE NHS should ban staff from saying -mum and dad' and -husband and wife' to avoid offending gays, a taxpayer-funded report urges.
Instead it suggests they consider using phrases like ???????guardians??????? or ???????carers???????.
I'm all for equality across the board but I think I would be a bit put out if I wasn't referred to as the mother or mum.
Hope I don't offend anyone just wondered what the general consensus was among expectant mothers.
