Petition Details

Make life-saving lower surgeries available for trans people assigned female at birth on the NHS.

Additional Information

Surgeries like phalloplasty, metoidioplasty, scrotoplasty, implants, and revision surgeries are absolutely vital to the health and wellbeing of trans people in the UK. Not only do these surgeries address medical problems that are left untouched by other areas of trans healthcare, but are also essential to the mental health of many trans people. Making these surgeries available on the NHS is to preserve the lives and quality of life of trans people in the UK.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. NHS England does already commission these services, although it is a clincial decision as to whether they are offered.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
