uin	HL4849
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/05/2024 answer text <p>The Government is not consulting on the longstanding policy of single-sex hospital accommodation, as part of the NHS Constitution consultation. We are consulting on an update to the existing pledge on sleeping accommodation in hospitals, to reflect the legal position on the provision of same-sex services on which transgender patients can be offered separate accommodation, as a proportionate means to a legitimate aim. We are consulting on this in recognition of the concerns that patients may have about sharing hospital accommodation with patients of the opposite sex.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham question first answered 24/05/2024 13:39:55 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham
