The Department of Health and Social Care said on Tuesday that it is “defining sex as biological sex” with the new document, which underpins NHS care
Kemi Badenoch has called on people to give examples of how public bodies use incorrect guidance on access to single-sex spaces.
Speaking to GB News, The Secretary of State for Business and Trade said: "Yesterday you would have heard the Health Secretary talk about how she was enshrining single-sex spaces into the NHS constitution because they'd had a lot of issues, people using words that were inappropriate, mixed-sex wards, which were also inappropriate for patients.
"But I've also had many people write to me with examples of public institutions that are not following equality law. They issue guidance, that's been written lightly by Stonewall, and they issue policy that is not in keeping with the law.
"So what I said is, well, let's have a look at how big this problem is. To what extent is this an issue?
"If you have examples of where a public institution is not following the law. Please send us an example and we'll have a look at it. And if so, try and intervene where possible."
She added: "We've issued guidance for schools, but if people aren't following the guidance, I would want to know."
