question text	To ask His Majesty's Government what discussions they have had with NHS England about whether biological sex determines which chaperone to be offered to patients who request a chaperone of a particular sex.
tabling member printed	Baroness Hayter of Kentish Town
uin	HL128
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/07/2024 answer text <p>All patients should be given the opportunity to state their preferences in relation to the sex of their chaperone, and this must be documented in their clinical records. Patients should have the opportunity to decline a particular person if that person is not acceptable to them for any reason. They must then decide if they wish the examination to proceed or be rescheduled, and this decision should also be recorded in their clinical records.</p><p>The General Medical Council (GMC) has published guidance on intimate examinations and chaperones, which provides a framework for all healthcare professionals. This sets out when and why a patient may need a chaperone, and the considerations that should be given. The GMC’s guidance is available on their website, in an online only format.</p> answering member printed Baroness Merron question first answered 30/07/2024 11:12:23 answering member 347 label Biography information for Baroness Merron

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/07/2024 answer text <p>The General Medical Council (GMC) is the regulator of all medical doctors practising in the United Kingdom.

While the GMC is independent of the Government, it is directly accountable to Parliament, and is responsible for operational matters concerning the discharge of its statutory duties.</p><p>The GMC maintains an official list of doctors, which is called the List of Registered Medical Practitioners. The GMC is obliged under the Form and Content of the Register Regulations to obtain and publish information in relation to a doctor's gender rather than sex. The Government has not had discussions with the GMC about the doctors on its register being described by gender rather than by sex.</p> answering member printed Baroness Merron question first answered 30/07/2024 11:10:23 answering member 347 label Biography information for Baroness Merron

[and] will not share their trans status with patients nor would it be appropriate for any colleague either to share the trans status or another colleague with a patient or visitor”; and what assessment they have made of the compatibility of this guidance with the Government's definition of sex as biological sex in the context of intimate care.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/05/2024 answer text <p>Cambridge University Hospital does not recognise the wording provided in the question as belonging to their chaperone’s guidance. The Government has been clear about the importance of biological sex, and the importance of respecting the privacy, dignity, and safety of all patients.</p><p>Our proposed changes to the NHS Constitution reinforce the National Health Services’ commitment to providing single-sex wards, and will empower patients to request that intimate care is carried out by someone of the same biological sex, where this is reasonably possible.</p> answering member printed Lord Markham question first answered 21/05/2024 12:26:06 answering member 4948 label Biography information for Lord Markham

tabling member printed	Baroness Hayter of Kentish Town
uin	HL4147
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/05/2024 answer text <p>My right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education was concerned to hear reports of inappropriate materials being used in schools and that contested topics are being taught as fact. This is why the department brought forward the first review of the RSHE statutory guidance, including appointing an independent panel to provide expert advice on what is appropriate to be taught in RSHE and at what age. Details on this panel and their role can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/groups/relationships-health-and-sex-education-independent-review" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/groups/relationships-health-and-sex-education-independent-review</a>.</p><p> </p><p>Transparency is also important, and parents should be able to see what their children are being taught. The Secretary of State has twice written to schools to remind them that copyright law does not prevent them sharing external resources with parents and to clarify that any contractual clause that prevents schools from sharing materials is void and unenforceable. The department will ensure that the updated guidance fully reflects this very clear position. The Secretary of State’s letters to schools about sharing curriculum resources with parents can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/secretary-of-state-letter-to-schools-about-sharing-curriculum-resources-with-parents" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/secretary-of-state-letter-to-schools-about-sharing-curriculum-resources-with-parents</a>.</p><p> </p><p>A draft of the amended guidance will be published for consultation as soon as possible.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Barran question first answered 09/05/2024 15:29:03 answering member 4703 label Biography information for Baroness Barran
