NHS: Staff
(asked on 7th May 2025) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask His Majesty's Government, following the decision of the Supreme Court in For Women Scotland Ltd v The Scottish Ministers [2025] UKSC 16, whether they will issue guidance to ensure that NHS staff who refer to another person by the pronoun of their biological sex do not face disciplinary action.
This question was answered on 20th May 2025
It is the responsibility of National Health Service employers to determine their own policies for staff, in accordance with their legal obligations. We expect NHS providers to follow the clarity that the Supreme Court’s ruling brings.
