The NHS is updating its policies to ensure clarity and protection in healthcare, including banning terms like “chestfeeding” and prioritising same-sex intimate care. The Telegraph has the story.
Victoria Atkins, the Health Secretary, will this week announce a series of changes to the NHS constitution which sets out patients’ rights.
Referring to “people who have ovaries” rather than “women” will also be prohibited under plans to ensure hospitals use clear language based on biological sex.
The new constitution will ban transgender women from being treated on single-sex female hospital wards to ensure women and girls receive “privacy and protection” in hospitals.
Patients will also be given the right to request that intimate care is carried out by someone of the same biological sex.
It follows concerns from patients about biological men being allowed in women’s hospital wards. NHS guidance has previously stated that trans patients could be placed in single-sex wards on the basis of the gender with which they identified.
Kemi Badenoch, the Women and Equalities Minister, has backed calls for a public inquiry into the “pervasive influence” of transgender ideology in the NHS.
The new NHS constitution will emphasise the importance of using “sex-specific” language in the health service after references to women were expunged from advice on the menopause and diseases such as cervical and ovarian cancer. …
The document sets out the rights of patients and medical staff. All NHS bodies, as well as private and third-sector providers that supply NHS services, are required by law to take it into account when making decisions.

What? Is there an election coming up or something?
A day late and a dollar short – springs to mind.
Ludicrously, the Health Secretary appears to believe she is in charge of the NHS. No doubt there is some equally deluded minister responsible for the media who thinks he or she has influence on the BBC. The reality is that the socialist scum who run all institutions of the state do what they want regardless of what elected politicians or the citizenry think.
I remember a Labour MP, back when Blair was first elected, saying “We will take over all of the institutions, so even in the event we are not in power we will be in control”. No so-called Tory Government ever seems to be able to recall that and do something about it.
And there’s the problem. It should be ‘…in service…’ – serving the people.
I favour – in Outer Mongolia where they can do us no harm.
That was the purpose of Scottish and Welsh devolution, the Blair creature envisaged Labour dominated assemblies which could then introduce staunch Socialist policies despite whether the Tories were in Government or not.
He didn’t envisage rear was not to be, nor did he realise the Tories would introduce staunch Socialist policies anyway.
a) The NHS hasn’t suggested it so it won’t happen b) There is an election coming up c) Labour Loons will simply scrap it.
Too little, far, far too late. I’ll never vote for any of the current loons in the House of Loons. Reform from now on.
Same here Rich, I’ll never vote for the uniparty ever again, reform or independents from now on
As hux so often says – salvation will not be attained via the ballot box.
I am coming to think that ignoring the entire charade is the only wise course of action. That, and learning to move as a shadow.
Well thank the gods for that. This horrible language is demeaning and dehumanizing to females of all ages and just plain insulting to all adults who have more than two brain cells to rub together. Mind you, they did say they’d also banned masks didn’t they? Then those hated symbols of subjugation kept popping up and never actually going away depending on which Trust was behaving more cult-like at any one time, so I shan’t hold my breath we’ve seen the last of this horrendous terminology just yet. But it’s like James Lindsay says, no matter the agenda, it’s all a mental health crisis. Half-baked people are too thick to see they’re being played, is all;
”Let me stress to you again:
It is an INDUCED mental health crisis that is then WEAPONIZED by exactly the same people inducing it.
Deranging propaganda is targeted at people, and the most vulnerable to it are broken and then activated so they can be used to push its agenda.”

I didn’t even know the nonsense word chestfeeding was even in use! Christ, these crazy ideas are now collapsing faster than they appear, aren’t they?!
The good old NHS:

The page was last reviewed December 2021. I wonder how long it will take to be revised again in light of the new constitution?
The NHS is sick in the head. In total denial about the harm they have caused with their ghastly mRNA injections. They appear very reluctant to stop mutilating our children.
All senior staff need to be ripped out and investigated for crimes against humanity.
Was at the hospital yesterday as my wife was having a scan. The TV in the waiting room had a rolling piece on the importance of taking the jab, particularly for pregnant women as a ‘new report’ says that Covid is the biggest cause of miscarriages. Couldn’t find anything on the NHS website about this but ‘all [Covid] vaccines have met strict standards of safety, quality and effectiveness
and reports of serious side effects are very rare’. Wow.
While it is on the surface good news that this nonsense is going to be banned, it’s rather horrifying that the mentalists who thought it was a good idea in the first place are probably still working in the NHS.
