The Supreme Court last week ruled that the legal definition of a woman should be based on biological sex as in the Equality Act 2010.

We know that NHS England will be providing all trusts with national guidance on this issue and that there will be a significant amount of work to be done in light of this ruling.

We will review the NHS England guidance once it is available and respond accordingly.
