Speeches by McKenna.

“Clinical need is going to override those side rooms in many situations, just because there will be patients with infection, patients who are neutropenic and so on. That is one side of it. It just feels like so much of what we have discussed today is passing it on. Things have been written down in this code that are not…”

“When this does not happen in practice, and when we simply cannot deliver services that meet these requirements, what is the EHRC going to do about it? If this code is put into practice, if it cannot work in practice, what are your next steps? What are you actually going to do about this, if you just cannot make it func…”

“I would like to just slightly roll back to something Sarah said in her example, where she was talking about different sex accommodation in hospitals. You talked about providing alternative provision for the person Sarah talked about. If you have a male oncology ward, say, and a female oncology ward, what would that alt…”

“A situation I can picture from things that I have experienced in the past is where you have one patient who gets very angry because maybe there is a trans person or someone who is gender non-conforming in an adjacent bed and they are having a row, but you cannot share the direct clinical information or any other inform…”

“With all that feedback you have had so far, if you were trying to implement this in practice—putting yourself in the head of a nurse on a ward and trying to accommodate patients—what would worry you about the challenges from what you have heard back from the sectors already?”

“Do you have a process for going back to those organisations for check and challenge to see whether the guide and the code are actually practical?”

“That is in government elements such as the Department of Health and Social Care, but has that included arm’s length bodies such as NHS England, the Scottish Government, the Welsh Government and so on?”

“Thank you very much for everything you have said so far. I would like to actually build on what Alex was saying about the practicalities of the code. My background is in nursing and healthcare and it is often quite challenging managing single sex accommodations with inpatient services. Balancing those requirements with…”

“It is not just legal advice. In practical terms professionals on the ground are going to find parts of this very challenging to implement and particularly to have sensitive conversations around someone’s sex in terms of the Supreme Court judgment and balancing that with their transgender and gender recognition status. …”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Mr Twigg. Massive congratulations to the hon. Member for Harrogate and Knaresborough (Tom Gordon) on securing the debate. This issue matters to so many people around the country. My constituency is a coastal community, but also very rural in parts. Many of the issues rais…”

“Is that true in all the sports?”

“How has it changed across your career?”

“Escalating it through the FA must have been pretty tough. What was that like for you?”

“India and Hannah, have you seen anything?”

“I would like to explore issues around abuse and safeguarding. In a recent survey, women in sport found that female coaches were twice as likely as male coaches to have experienced bullying. I will start with Lisa. What have your experiences of bullying and abuse been? Is there anything that you have witnessed?”

“There is a lot of assumed knowledge, and men are learning the assumed knowledge earlier or more implicitly.”

“There does seem to be a bit of convenient opacity to a lot of these practices. Is that true for recruitment full stop? How do the current recruitment practices in coaching affect women?”

“As women progress up, at what stages of the career progression are the biggest barriers for them?”

“Is it more transparent for women coaches than male coaches? Is it men who are hiding their pay?”

“If we are rewriting the rule book on coaching, within coaching is there a difference in pay between men and women?”
