SEENinHealth Interactive Map of (unlawful) NHS single sex and trans self ID policies for whole of UK - check out your Trust and find template letters to call for the return of lawfulness to the NHS!

[KnottyAuty]

Very proud to announce that SEENinHealth has published an interactive policy map on their website here:

https://seeninhealth.org/nhs-foi-map/

This is a huge milestone for the fabulous 40 or so mumsnetters who worked together to audit these NHS policies last year and "keep the receipts" which form the basis for this map. SEENinHealth have passed on their thanks to you all!

It is thought that there have been no single sex spaces in the NHS since 2009 despite public declarations to the contrary. The gender self ID policies on this map were in force in 2024-2025 and we found no evidence of any protected single sex spaces for staff or patients across the UK - over 300 Trusts!

We have been doing a follow up sample of FOI searches this month. The results are coming in but so far no Trusts have updated to lawful single sex spaces yet - all are waiting for EHRC guidance... the map will be updated in due course.

Please do use this data to help hold your elected representatives and NHS Trusts to account. And share with others. Sample letters and contact details are linked from the map page to make it easy to request that your Trust complies with the law.

SEENinHealth will be launching the map officially tomorrow so any help boosting their social media posts would be great thank you.

All of the above - but defo not the first one. Here’s a snippet from the 2026 updated EqIA…. Beggars belief

Sorry, should have tagged you @KnottyAuty !

Couldn't find the latest audit thread, so posted here.

I almost never read BBC News online anymore, but was looking for something and found this:

(will this have any impact on follow-up after the Audit? Whose "rules" are the two regional health boards going to follow, the ones which are obeying the law, or the ones that are not?)

Swinney to cut number of health boards from 14 to two

The first minister has confirmed plans to cut the number of health boards providing local services across Scotland from 14 to two.
Existing boards could be merged so that there would be one for the west and another for the east of Scotland.
^^
Separate plans are being considered for the three island groups - Shetland, Orkney, and the Western Isles.
^^
Setting out his programme for government, Swinney called the move "the most significant structural reform of our NHS in the devolution era".

Ooh interesting!
will need to keep an eye on this
thanks
