NHS England发布跨性别患者设施使用新指南
The story so far
NHS England published updated guidelines requiring trans patients and staff to use hospital wards, bathrooms and changing rooms based on their biological sex rather than gender identity, PinkNews reported. The guidance, issued 18 months after the April 2025 Supreme Court ruling on the Equality Act 2010, says single-sex services such as hospital accommodation should be provided on the basis of biological sex, and trans people should be accommodated in line with their sex registered at birth. The guidelines also say trans people may be offered single rooms to avoid the risk of discrimination, with decisions made case by case. In some cases, clinical need will override the priority given to biological sex, according to the guidance.
