'We do not tolerate any discriminatory practice and react swiftly where there is evidence of such behaviour'
The Royal Manchester Children's Hospital has issued a statement amid claims a Jewish boy was mistreated. The accusations were made in a social post that alleges a young boy was removed by a nurse from a bay on a ward while wearing 'visibly Jewish' clothing.
"We are proud of our good relationship with the Jewish communities across Greater Manchester and will continue to build their confidence in accessing services through our engagement with patients, faith leaders, and communities. We have reminded all staff of the need to adhere to the trust's dress code policy which only permits the wearing of badges endorsed by officially sanctioned NHS campaigns.
"We are rapidly investigating these to establish the situation and are discussing them with the family involved. Royal Manchester Children's Hospital is committed to providing high quality care to all of our patients." The poster claims that the boy has a condition that requires hospital treatment and is part of a 'religious Jewish' family.
Prior to hospital bosses' latest statement, Jewish Representative Council issued a letter to the chief executive of the MFT trust and the chief executive of the hospital itself. The letter refers to the same 'allegations brought to the council’s attention by a member of the Greater Manchester Jewish community'.
In a letter penned by the organisation’s own chief executive Marc Levy, alleged that 'a Jewish family have been targeted due to the conflict in the Middle East', adding that this is 'naturally hugely concerning'.
