Queen's Hospital, Burton, vows to tackle Muslim burial issues

POSITIVE talks have been held with hospital chiefs in an effort to improve systems in Burton that cater for the Muslim burial traditions.

Senior members of the Muslim community in the town recently met with MP Andrew Griffiths, and have now sat down with a panel from Queen's Hospital to discuss the issue.

Under Islamic law, bodies should be buried as soon as possible after death.

Former councillor and key member of Burton's Muslim community Tariq Hussain attended the meeting.

He said: "Many of the key issues that face us in the burial process were discussed.

"We talked about how Queen's Hospital can help to alleviate the problem and how we might have bodies released quicker after death.

"The hospital have said they will look into this and carry out a review of their current processes.

"Delays in releasing bodies can put huge pressures on families already dealing with the sadness of a death.

"I'd like to thank the hospital and members of the community for having this meeting and working with us on this very important issue."

The meeting represents good progress for Mr Hussain and his team. The hospital too spoke of the positivity that came from the meeting.

Val McCarthy, nursing quality and safety lead, said: "Staff members from Burton Hospitals, including nursing staff and the head of spiritual care, recently met with members of a local faith group in the community to learn more about the cultural and spiritual needs of the group. We encouraged members of the group to share their experience and give us their input on how we can improve our processes to provide the optimum service at a difficult time. This is part of the trust's broader engagement work with multi-cultural community groups."
