It’s sparked discussion about how the NHS accommodates trans people when it comes to single sex spaces, like women-only wards. What do the judgment and equality legislation say about providing services to only one sex? What does NHS policy say and how might it change? And why has the language used by health services become so controversial when it comes to women’s health?Presenter: Adam Fleming Producers: Simon Maybin, Josephine Casserly, Bethan Ashmead Latham, Tom Gillett Production coordinator: Janet Staples Editor: Penny Murphy
