Liberal Democrat policy on single-sex spaces requires that everyone who needs access to a single-sex space can have it safely and feel comfortable and secure, while ensuring that nobody faces discrimination on the basis of their being trans. The Opposition’s new clause 143 is very poorly drafted and would create chaos and confusion within the NHS by applying requirements to spaces such as pop-up flu jab clinics, blood donation sessions in the community and potentially even care delivered in a private residence in a way that is clearly unworkable and would damage delivery of care. Therefore, I am also unable to support that new clause.
