Question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the Supreme Court ruling of [2025] UKSC 16, 16 April 2025, on levels of provision of (a) services, (b) healthcare and (c) workplace facilities for trans people; and what steps she is taking to support trans people who cannot access those services.

The Government has set out our expectation that organisations follow the clarity the Supreme Court ruling provides. The EHRC has committed to support organisations with its updated statutory Code of Practice for Services, Public Functions and Associations which they are consulting on. We encourage people to ensure their views are heard by submitting a response to the consultation which launched on Tuesday 20th May.

Trans people should have access to the services and facilities they need. It is also vitally important that trans people receive the care and support they need when accessing NHS services, and that they are treated with dignity and respect.
