Orwellian language enters the room

THE Orwellian use of language is everywhere and yet never ceases to amaze.

So I was more than surprised to read (Irish Examiner, August 15) that in the Central Mental Hospital in Dundrum, “the majority of patients’ rooms do not have toilet facilities.”

Funny, but I didn’t think that rooms with toilets en suite were a feature of even the standard Irish hospital.
