General Practitioners: Women
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent estimate he has made of the legal costs of implementing the EHRC’s proposed Code of Practise for GPs.
Answered by Karin Smyth
No assessment has been made of the cost, including any associated legal costs, of implementing the Code of Practice. The Equality and Human Rights Commission is currently consulting on text for an updated statutory Code of Practice. The English language version closes on 30 June. The Welsh language survey closes on 15 July.
The Supreme Court’s ruling gives clarity to service providers, and we expect all providers to follow the clarity it provides.
