Remove gender reassignment surgery from the NHS.
In 2014 a survey of more than 2000 trans people in the UK :
Tax money is being poured into this surgery that has proven its self not to be as effective. I disagree with how tax money is being allowed to contribute to the stats above which is why it should remain available in the private sector.

Procedures cost the taxpayer around £10,000 per surgery. which in 2014 there were 172 sex operations on the NHS - double the 83 of a decade earlier - costing taxpayers at least £2million. NHS England announced they have invested an additional £6.5m in gender identity services in the financial year of 2017.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because it's not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament to decide whether someone needs medical treatment. Gender reassignment surgery is only provided on the NHS if a Doctor has decided it is medically necessary.
