Review the issuing of hormone prescriptions for transgender individuals by GPs
I believe the government should launch a review into the ways that GPs work alongside NHS gender clinics to issue prescriptions for hormones.
It has been reported that some transgender individuals have been refused prescriptions for hormone medication, or had them withdrawn, despite having a gender dysphoria diagnosis. Hormones are extremely important to many transgender people and can help them cope with symptoms of gender dysphoria. Not having access to hormones may also affect access to further treatment.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
