NHS Defies Court Ruling on Transgender Patients
Update: 2025-12-28
Description
The NHS in England is currently allowing transgender patients to use single-sex spaces based on their gender identity, despite the Supreme Courts ruling that the word women in the Equality Act means biological sex. Hospitals are still following old rules from 2019, and the government is waiting for new instructions from ministers. The Equality and Human Rights Commission proposed basing single-sex spaces on biology, but Women and Equalities Secretary Bridget Phillipson has yet to decide. Politicians are criticizing the policies, and the NHS is reviewing its guidance while awaiting final advice from the commission. Meanwhile, new plans allow GPs to specialize in gender medicine and prescribe hormone treatments after a year of specialist care.
