A crumbling hospital described as a ‘death trap’ came under fire yesterday for spending public money on gender-neutral toilets.
The Queen Elizabeth Hospital King’s Lynn NHS Foundation Trust in Norfolk posted photos of the facilities on Twitter with symbols showing a silhouetted character in trousers and a skirt and the word ‘Inclusive’.
Underneath the pictures, it wrote: ‘We are pleased to announce the first of many gender-neutral toilets have been installed… these toilets are a vital part in making QEH a more inclusive workplace and healthcare provider.’
But the self-congratulation triggered an angry backlash. Kellie-Jay Keen, founder of Standing for Women, accused the trust of putting ‘ideology over practicality’.

The hospital has around 2,500 props holding up the roof, with worried patients hearing ‘creaking’ and ‘cracking’ sounds at night. T
he noises are caused by bubbles bursting inside decaying lightweight concrete used to build the hospital in 1980 – it was meant to last only 30 years.

Buckets are placed under leaks, while an intensive care ward had to be evacuated in 2021.
Matron Phulmattie Mohan said last year: ‘The words that one of our patients used is that they were lying under a death trap.’
A trust spokesman said it was applying for funding to build a new hospital.
