Shivani Raja MP asks Written Parliamentary Question on pregnancy and breastfeeding language

Image shows Shivani Raja MP and the WPQ, 'To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will take steps to review NHS communications to ensure that language on a) pregnancy and b) breastfeeding reflects biological sexes.'

Clear, sex-based language in NHS guidance is essential for patient safety and trust.

In the case of pregnant and breastfeeding women, it is essential that their experiences aren’t minimised.

I’m continuing to push the Government to ensure this is the case.
