Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether staff at the Tavistock and Portman NHS foundation trust Gender and Identity Development Service will be transferred to new regional hubs.

The new services will need to build multi-disciplinary teams. These will include expertise in Gender Dysphoria alongside other clinical disciplines. The transformation programme aims to ensure relevant expertise is transferred to the new teams. The new providers and the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust are working together to establish a process that is consistent with employment law and with National Health Service human resources best practice.
