I know the telegraph are really trying to hammer home the insanity of gender ideology, but the NHS hasn’t actually declared this at all. It’s reporting on proposed changes to the NHS constitution, currently being updated by Victoria Atkins (secretary of State for Health and Social Care) in line with requirements to update every ten years. The next update is due in 2025, after the general election, so these changes may not even happen, which is a shame because the new constitution would state, “we are defining sex as biological sex.” Can’t see Labour being that ‘controversial’.
Matthew Taylor, chief executive of the NHS Confederation, which represents healthcare leaders, said its members would review the proposals in detail.
However, he added: “What is absolutely clear at this stage is that a focus on high-quality care for all is maintained and that the NHS is not dragged into a pre-election culture wars debate. This is not where energies should be focused.”
Mr Taylor said staff worked hard to show fairness and compassion towards all patients.
“In particular, groups of people, including trans and non-binary patients, continue to receive some of the worst health outcomes of any group in our society and NHS leaders and staff will want to do all they can to support these patients, as well as their trans and non-binary staff to reduce inequalities…”
Women’s safety and requirements are less important according to Taylor’s perception.
