Midlands Partnership University NHS trust tells trans staff they can use women’s toilets

[IwantToRetire]

Midlands Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (MPFT) told staff on Wednesday that there would be “no immediate changes” to its policies or practices while it awaited further guidance from NHS England.

Patients can access single-sex facilities, including hospital wards, according to their gender identity rather than biological sex, under the Trust’s Trans Inclusion and Single Sex Accommodation policies.

Staff are also allowed to use toilets and showers based on their gender identity.

The Equality and Human Rights Commission’s (EHRC) revised Code came into force on Wednesday, more than a year after the Supreme Court ruled “sex” in equality law means biological sex rather than gender identity.

It says single-sex services must be provided based on biological sex. Transgender people should use facilities intended for their biological sex or separate or mixed-sex alternatives.

An email from MPFT to staff this week said: “We understand this may be a difficult and anxiety-provoking time for our trans, non-binary and gender-diverse colleagues, service users and communities, and we want to reassure you that we stand by you, and remain committed to being an inclusive organisation.”

Thanks have bookmarked your thread for future info / use!

The NHS was set up to deliver a health service from cradle to grave for 30 million people not the 67 million we now have.

And I doubt very much whether that increase is due to immigrants.

At the time when the NHS was being set up life expectancy was a lot less. It was not uncommon for people to die in their early seventies so the NHS didn't have to cater for the health needs of extreme elderly people as it does now.

Not forgetting of course that with out all these "immigrants" we wouldn't have a national health service as not only are the majority working they are doing many of the essentials jobs that whoever are not immigrants (not sure who they are particularly in England as nearly everyone has an immigrant heritage) dont want to do.

Its really strange that these sort of comments are increasing on FWR, but always said as though it is a statement of fact that everyone agrees with.

I wonder why they think this forum would be a receptive audience.

Not open to an alternative point of view then.

Dont be so silly.

It isn't about a "point of views" it is about facts.

ie the implication being the problem is because of immigration.

eg That might have something to do with the many millions of people we've let into the country.

Do you have the stats to substantiate such a claim.

Do you think it out ways the normal growth in population?
