Under the NHS Constitution, National Health Service trusts have a responsibility to eliminate mixed-sex accommodation. It is imperative that NHS trusts respect the privacy and dignity of patients. Patients should not have to share sleeping accommodation with others of the opposite sex and should have access to segregated bathroom and toilet facilities. However, in some cases, operational pressures may lead to unjustified breaches of same-sex accommodation guidance. On the rare occasions that mixing does occur, the breach should be reported, and every effort should be made to remedy the breach immediately. NHS England is currently reviewing its guidance, Delivering same-sex accommodation, and a revised version will be published in due course.<\/p>
<\/p>
Patients can request same-sex intimate care, and it will be up to the care provider or clinician to respond based on the patient\u2019s needs and staff availability. Due to staff availability, there may be instances when these requests cannot be immediately or easily met. The Department notes the Policy Exchange report Gender identity ideology in the NHS, and is considering whether clearer guidance is needed on the provision of same-sex staffing for patients receiving intimate care, given the importance of ensuring that patients\u2019 privacy and dignity is respected.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4948", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Markham"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord Markham"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-04-25", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : {"_value" : "HL6842"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-04-25T13:03:31.23Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health and Social Care"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-03-27", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Health Services: Gender"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the report by Policy Exchange Gender identity ideology in the NHS, published on 2 January; and what steps they are taking to ensure that every hospital trust is able to guarantee same-sex accommodation and intimate same-sex care.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/497", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Blencathra"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Blencathra"} ], "uin" : "HL6841"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1439935", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Transport"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1439935/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

We are doing everything we can to support local authorities, and their partners, to ensure that the most vulnerable children are protected and that there are sufficient places for children in their care.<\/p> School is a protective factor for many children and, as schools reopen fully, there could potentially be a rise in the number of children that need social care intervention. We are working closely with local authorities to ensure workforce capacity is sufficient to cope with any potential spike in referrals. This includes weekly discussions between the Chief Social Worker and practice leaders.<\/p> The department has set up dedicated regional teams that are in frequent contact with local authorities. Bringing together expertise from across the department, these teams monitor the challenges local authorities are facing, including any increases in demand. We also collect fortnightly data from local authorities across the country around their contact with vulnerable children, workforce availability and other system pressures in order to offer support and challenge where needed.<\/p> The government has also provided £3.7 billion of additional funding to support local authorities in meeting COVID-19 related pressures, including on children\u2019s services. This funding is un-ringfenced, recognising local authorities are best placed to decide how to meet the major COVID-19 service pressures in their local area.<\/p> We have also committed over £100 million to support access to social care services and remote education, including by providing laptops, tablets and 4G wireless routers to vulnerable and disadvantaged children. Furthermore, we are in continual discussions with charities on the support they provide and need. We have committed additional funding worth £26.4 million directly to support them and £1.6 million to expand NSPCC\u2019s helpline.<\/p> Through the Coronavirus Act, we have been able to work with Social Work England, the Department of Health and Social Care and the Local Government Association to reinstate the professional registration of 8,000 former social workers so that they can re-join the profession, providing additional resource where it is required. We have also developed the Social Work Together online tool, so those social workers who have registered and are available to support their local community if needed.<\/p>"}

The funding formula is decided by each local authority and often uses factors such as pupils\u2019 prior level of attainment in the school, to give an estimate of additional support required for pupils\u2019 special educational needs (SEN).<\/p> In addition to the core funding provided to mainstream schools, we provide each local authority with a high needs budget. This supports provision for children and young people with SEN and disabilities, and alternative provision for pupils who cannot receive education in schools.<\/p> Local authorities are required to delegate funds to a level that enables schools to meet the additional cost of supporting pupils with SEN up to £6,000 per annum. When a school can demonstrate that the costs exceed this, the local authority should allocate top-up funding from its high needs budget.<\/p> The local authority can also use its high needs budget to give extra funding to schools with a disproportionate number of pupils with SEN, including those with a high number of pupils on education, health and care plans.<\/p> We provided local authorities with £130 million of additional funding for high needs last year, and are providing a further £142 million this year, bringing the total high needs funding across England to £6 billion per annum.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p>"}
