The NHS was set up to provide medical treatment for all, unfortunately, due to funding, many operations and treatments are limited. Gender Reassignment Surgery is cosmetic surgery & should not take up funding that is there to treat people that are sick & taking up valuable operation availability

Additional Information

The NHS was set up to provide medical treatment for all, unfortunately, due to funding, many operations and treatments are limited. We believe that Gender Reassignment Surgery is cosmetic surgery & should not take up funding that is there to treat people that are sick & taking up valuable operation time & availability. The NHS provide many alternative treatments other than surgery, we understand that, but finances are tight and delayed surgery for cancer sufferers is unacceptable.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about availability of NHS services and treatment for individual patients are a matter for integrated care boards and individual clinicians, not the UK Government or Parliament.
