NHS英格兰颁布新政策，要求跨性别人士根据生物性别使用单性别病房、卫生间和更衣室 1。内部影响评估报告对这一政策提出了警告，指出其可能带来一系列负面后果 1。
根据该评估报告，新政策可能导致跨性别患者面临就医延迟和更大的走廊护理风险 1。报告指出，跨性别人士因在医疗机构中被公开身份而可能经历歧视和恐惧，进而回避寻求医疗服务 1。此外，这一政策也可能对某些女性患者造成额外检查 1。报告建议按具体案例逐一决定跨性别患者的安置方式 1。该政策在急诊室和重症监护室不适用 1。NHS英格兰推行这一政策的背景是2025年最高法院裁定《平等法案》中的"女性"和"性别"仅指生物女性 1。
NHS England has introduced a policy requiring transgender people to use single-sex hospital wards, bathrooms, and changing facilities based on their biological sex.1 An internal impact assessment report has identified significant risks associated with the new guidance, warning that it could result in delayed medical care, increased corridor care situations, discrimination, and fear among transgender patients, potentially discouraging them from seeking healthcare services.1 The policy may also impose additional scrutiny on certain women patients.1
The assessment recommends that NHS England adopt a case-by-case approach when determining appropriate ward placements for transgender patients rather than applying a blanket policy.1 The new directive follows a 2025 Supreme Court ruling that defined "women" and "sex" in the Equality Act to refer exclusively to biological women.1 However, the policy does not apply to emergency departments and intensive care units.1
