Die Delegation der Entscheidung über die geschlechtsspezifische Unterbringung im Krankenhaus an lokale Träger führt zu ungleicher Versorgung und erhöht die Angst vor Diskriminierung bei trans+ und nicht-binären Menschen, weshalb legislative Klarstellungen nötig sind.

Niemand sollte aufgrund seiner Geschlechtsidentität oder -ausdrucks schlechter behandelt oder in dem Moment, in dem er am meisten Schutz braucht, Angst oder Scham empfinden.

Stonewall und die LGBT Foundation reagieren auf neue Leitlinien des NHS England zur Unterbringung von Patient:innen auf Stationen. Die Organisationen begrüßen den Fokus auf klinische Prioritäten und Patientensicherheit. Sie kritisieren jedoch, dass die Delegation der Entscheidung an lokale Träger zu einer ungleichmäßigen Versorgung führen werde. Zitierte Statistiken belegen, dass bereits 34 % der trans Menschen aus Angst vor Diskriminierung auf medizinische Hilfe verzichten. Der Text warnt, dass diese Angst durch die neuen Richtlinien steigen könnte. Es wird gefordert, dass medizinisches Fachpersonal bei der Unterbringung die Präferenzen der Patient:innen einholt. Die Autoren verweisen auf die NHS-Verfassung, die einen respektvollen und umfassenden Dienst für alle vorsieht. Schließlich fordern sie legislative Änderungen, um Würde und Sicherheit für trans+ und nicht-binäre Menschen wiederherzustellen.

Home News Stonewall issues joint statement with LGBT Foundation on NHS guidance on delivering same-sex accommodation Stonewall issues joint statement with LGBT Foundation on NHS guidance on delivering same-sex accommodation Published October 20, 2026 News "NHS England has published guidance today about same-sex hospital ward accommodation and staff facilities access. "These updates will determine how patients and staff should use same-sex spaces such as changing rooms, bathrooms, inpatient wards and recovery areas. "We welcome NHS England's emphasis on clinical priority to determine where patients should receive care, as stated in the new guidance: ‘Ensuring that an individual’s clinical needs are being met must take priority alongside ensuring that where an individual is accommodated does not negatively impact on patient safety and outcomes.’ "However, putting the emphasis on individuals, and placing the burden on local healthcare decision makers to determine staff resource, support and processes locally will inevitably result in inconsistent care for trans+ and non-binary people across the country. "We know that 34% of trans people already avoid healthcare for fear of discrimination; this figure is likely to rise as trans+ and non-binary people fear they will not be cared for within their affirmed gender. "We encourage medical professionals to meaningfully consult with patients when deciding where patients should be housed. "All of us rely on hospitals and NHS care in the most vulnerable, frightening moments of our lives. No one should experience worse treatment because of their gender identity or expression or made to feel afraid or embarrassed when they are in greatest need of protection. "The NHS Constitution is clear: the NHS must provide a compassionate, respectful and comprehensive service, available to all. "Looking to the future, the medical professionals expected to make these difficult decisions should have access to high-quality LGBTQ+ inclusion training. "Yet again, the Supreme Court ruling and associated guidance is creating an untenable situation for trans+ and non-binary people, but we continue in our efforts to advocate for legislative changes which will reinstate dignity, equality and safety for all."
