Ateb
Atebwyd gan Cabinet Secretary for Health and Social Care
All babies undergo an initial newborn examination during which sex is recorded as male or female.
In cases where sex cannot be determined from external anatomical features, the baby is recorded as having indeterminate sex and referred to a neonatologist for specialist assessment.
The examination is carried out in accordance with National Institute for Health and Care Excellence postnatal care guidance.
