Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will instruct NHS England to implement the revisions to the Professional Records Standards Body's Core Information Standard on data items relating to sex and gender.

Answered by Preet Kaur Gill

The Professional Records Standards Body's (PRSB) updates to the sex and gender data item representation for clinical use in the Core Information Standard have not yet been updated in the NHS England Standards Directory repository. Although these changes leave the PRSB specification and the NHS England Standards Directory out of step, it is proposed that the work to update the Standards Directory will commence next week.

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what guidance she has provided to police forces on their use of the Government's official definition of anti-Muslim hostility.

Answered by Sarah Jones - Minister of State (Home Office)

The Home Secretary has not provided guidance to police forces on their use of the Government’s non-statutory definition of anti-Muslim hostility. The definition is intended to support understanding and consistency in identifying hostility directed at Muslims or those perceived to be Muslim, and does not change the law.
