Reform transgender healthcare services in the UK as a matter of urgency

Petition Details

Transgender and gender diverse patients in the UK are being let down by the NHS. Current wait times are unacceptably long, with no interim support available. More resources (staff, facilities, and funds) are clearly required, as well as changes to speed up what is an unnecessarily slow process.
