During a phone-in interview, Keir Starmer claimed that NHS policy was not to treat trans patients identifying as female on women’s wards. However, under current NHS guidance, transgender patients are entitled to be accommodated in single-sex wards that match how they identify. A Gender Recognition Certificate (GRC) is not required for this accommodation. The NHS Constitution is currently undergoing a consultation to potentially change the rules around same-sex wards.
