St James’s Hospital apologised to Paige Behan for her emergency department experience after she fell ill following gender-affirming surgery overseas. In its statement to the Workplace Relations Commission, the hospital acknowledged a gap in care pathways for patients returning after such surgery and said it would meet Transgender Equality Network Ireland at Behan’s request to discuss the issue.

Behan’s complaint alleging discrimination under the Equal Status Act 2000 was resolved by agreement. The adjudicator recorded its withdrawal under that agreement and closed the hearing.
