Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether patients under 17 years old seeking gender-related healthcare support at the Tavistock and Portman NHS foundation trust Gender and Identity Development Service are still able to be referred on to a waiting list for future services.

The waiting list for children and young people’s Gender Dysphoria Services remains open. New referrals are being directed to NHS Arden and GEM Commissioning Support Unit, who will hold these referrals on behalf of the new service providers. These referrals will be transferred to the new service providers once they have commenced operation.
