NHS England Updates Policy on Single-Sex Wards for Trans Patients

• NHS England has introduced new guidelines for single-sex wards, toilets, and changing rooms.
• These spaces will now be allocated based on biological sex rather than gender identity.
• The new rules were published on Thursday and apply to all NHS facilities.
• Trans women will no longer be placed on female-only wards under the new policy.
• The changes follow a period of consultation and feedback from various stakeholders.
