- 77,412 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 78,109 - 17 added in the past 24hrs)
Introduce a law to legally protect the right of those aged 18 and over to transition using NHS services. This should specifically cover physical transition, including hormone treatment and surgery, as otherwise I believe it could potentially be interpreted as including conversion therapy.

- 26,018 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 26,516 - 17 added in the past 24hrs)
The previous government proposed changes to the NHS constitution which would mean transgender hospital patients in England may not be treated in female- and male-only wards. We believe that this segregation is discriminatory, dangerous, and violates the Equality Act 2010 and it must not go ahead.
