One of the UK’s largest private hospital groups has guaranteed its patients same sex care, prompting calls for the NHS to follow suit.
HCA has rewritten its policies to promise that patients will be provided with intimate care by a staff member of the same “sex” rather than the same “gender”.
This means that a trans woman could not provide personal care to a female patient unless that patient has given express consent or in emergency situations.
It comes after the hospital was forced to apologise to patient Theresa Steele for cancelling her operation when she requested that only biological women were involved in her intimate care.
HCA is believed to be one of the first major healthcare providers in the UK to offer this guarantee, and the move has led to pressure on the NHS to do the same.
