Review the issuing of hormone prescriptions for transgender individuals by GPs

Review the issuing of hormone prescriptions for transgender individuals by GPs — 2,075 signatures. Status: closed.

Petition background

I believe the government should launch a review into the ways that GPs work alongside NHS gender clinics to issue prescriptions for hormones.

Additional details

It has been reported that some transgender individuals have been refused prescriptions for hormone medication, or had them withdrawn, despite having a gender dysphoria diagnosis. Hormones are extremely important to many transgender people and can help them cope with symptoms of gender dysphoria. Not having access to hormones may also affect access to further treatment.
