Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Kamall on 28 March (HL7110), given that the TransActual UK Trans lives survey 2021: Enduring the UK's hostile environment was not referring to transition treatments, but to general physical and mental health care, what progress they have made in addressing these issues.

The Department is working with the national LGBT health advisor to improve healthcare for transgender people, including the development of improved guidance for general practitioners (GPs). This will assist GPs to improve the understanding and delivery of the transgender populations’ specific healthcare needs.
