Do not stop transgender people from receiving care in mainstream hospital wards

Summary

The previous government proposed changes to the NHS constitution which would mean transgender hospital patients in England may not be treated in female- and male-only wards. We believe that this segregation is discriminatory, dangerous, and violates the Equality Act 2010 and it must not go ahead. We believe this would be in direct opposition to the Equality Act of 2010, particularly Part 3 - Services and Public Functions. Transgender people require healthcare like anyone else, and many live with limited access to that healthcare as it is. We believe this must not proceed.
