Petition Action

Allow for the prescription of gender-affirming treatments through GPs.

Petition Details

Currently, the NHS approach to transgender healthcare is incredibly lacking in both funding and scope with patient numbers rising 15-100% per annum. This is a failure to all patients with wait times ranging from 13-30+ months for initial appointments, breaching the NHS 18 weeks targets.

Additional Information

The current approach to transgender healthcare is dangerous and the GICs only serves to cause more harm and distress to a demographic at serious risk of mental health issues and suicide.
GICs have little chance of caring for all these patients and private medical care is also becoming harder to get. A change in the approach to transgender healthcare must come soon or the service will keep failing patients.
