I live in Luxembourg and have now needed surgery twice over here. The 'wards' here have a maximum of 2 beds in them but I believe they are still building hospitals in the UK with wards with 10 - 20 beds.
I should have thought that enhanced risk of cross infection between patients would have informed the designers choice of ward sizes in the UK but not so apparently!
From personal experience, from the perspective of a patient, I can say that I infinitely prefer the arrangements over here to those in the UK!
