The National Health Service has included a new gender and trans status question in the GP Patient Survey to improve evidence around the experiences of trans and non-binary people. The results of the survey will be published in late summer 2021. NHS England continues to work across a range of projects to address inequalities experienced by trans and non-binary people.
