Anas Sarwar, leader of Scottish Labour, has emphasized the need for explicit instructions from the Scottish government regarding access to single-sex spaces within the NHS, advocating for the principle of biological sex as the basis for these spaces. This comes amidst ongoing debates and a tribunal case concerning the rights of transgender individuals and their access to such areas. Sarwar criticized the existing guidance as insufficient, urging a clearer framework for public bodies rather than leaving decisions to individual interpretation.
I support single-sex spaces based on biological sex, and that includes NHS services within that too. The law is clear, a protection of single-sex spaces based on biological sex.
Public bodies such as health boards should not have to judge how to manage these issues on a case-by-case basis. They need clearer guidance from the government.
