Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many bilateral mastectomies for gender dysphoria funded by the NHS were performed on patients (a) over 18 years old, (b) under 18 years old and (c) in total in each of the last five years.

The Department does not hold this data centrally. This information is held at individual National Health Service provider level.

NHS Children and Young People’s Gender Services, which delivers care for those who are under 18, do not make referrals for surgical interventions.
