Public Health England (PHE) has not made an assessment of the extent to which people can identify whether they have a cervix, prostate gland or ovaries.

In July 2017, PHE published a leaflet that explains the National Health Service population screening programmes available to transgender and non-binary people in England; this can be accessed at the following link:
