An analysis reveals there are no single-sex spaces for women across the NHS in London, whether for patients or staff, who are forced to share changing facilities and bathrooms with trans women.
It comes days after the Supreme Court ruled that trans women were not legally women, with the Government saying it would “provide clarity and confidence for women and service providers such as hospitals”.
All NHS hospitals in London are refusing to comply with single-sex laws to stop transgender people using women-only spaces, The Telegraph can reveal.
The NHS in England claims to have
eliminated “mixed-sex accommodation” and requires all hospital trusts to have
single-sex policies. But these policies include a range of exemptions allowing
trans women to share toilets, showers, and hospital wards with women.
Also, an analysis of 28 hospital trusts in London found none could guarantee single-sex spaces, while some openly opposed Government demands.
The hospitals often use NHS England’s 2019 policy – which has been in review for a number of years – to justify their guidance to give trans people “equal rights to access single-sex wards”.
The evidence was collected and
shared with The Telegraph by a group of whistle-blowers and concerned women.
