Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make an assessment of the potential impact of gender-neutral language in (a) pregnancy services and (b) other sex-specific areas of healthcare on the standard of health care services provided to patients.

There are no plans to make an assessment. The Government is clear that it expects health services to be delivered in line with the Equality Act 2010.
