We also have an aspect of this in nursing and domiciliary care, where many people will want intimate care to be provided by people of the same sex. That has always seemed a reasonable request and one that offence should not be taken at. It is quite properly part of a lot of people’s upbringing that they are careful about the way they are exposed in front of the opposite sex. This can apply to males and females. The base of this has to be that the data held on the sex of the workers involved is accurate. There have been several cases recently within the NHS where that has clearly not been the case. We are looking at a government transformation and moving to an AI world. That AI world will be intolerable if it is based on data that is not truthful.
