Fund more gender-affirming care on the NHS and increase staff training

Fund more gender-affirming care on the NHS and increase staff training — 438 signatures. Status: closed.

Petition background

Improve access to gender-affirming healthcare by reducing waiting times, allowing trained providers to prescribe care directly, and ensuring all GPs receive proper training on transgender health.

Additional details

Transgender people can wait 5 years or more for NHS gender care. Many are refused help by GPs. Gender-affirming treatment reduces depression and suicide risk. Care should be timely, respectful, and accessible. Equality must mean protection and dignity for all. Gender-affirming healthcare is essential and lifesaving, yet remains out of reach for many. The government must act to ensure equality, safety, and accessible care for all trans people.
