There is a thread about this report on the FWR board.

^By

Trans NHS staff can treat patients who request same-sex care for intimate procedures, a report suggests.^

According to a letter seen by the think tank Policy Exchange, North Bristol NHS Trust is unable to guarantee patients will receive treatment by a clinician of the same-sex if requested.

This is an example about why the Equalities Act needs to be updated to make clear that sex means biological sex not an acquired ‘gender’.
