Fund more gender-affirming care on the NHS and increase staff training
Improve access to gender-affirming healthcare by reducing waiting times, allowing trained providers to prescribe care directly, and ensuring all GPs receive proper training on transgender health.
Transgender people can wait 5 years or more for NHS gender care. Many are refused help by GPs. Gender-affirming treatment reduces depression and suicide risk. Care should be timely, respectful, and accessible. Equality must mean protection and dignity for all. Gender-affirming healthcare is essential and lifesaving, yet remains out of reach for many. The government must act to ensure equality, safety, and accessible care for all trans people.
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.
