Allow 16 and 17-year-olds to access NHS gender-affirming hormone treatment

Allow 16 and 17-year-olds to access NHS gender-affirming hormone treatment — 12 signatures. Status: open.

Petition background

People under 18 are currently unable to access gender-affirming HRT through the NHS. We believe this should be changed so young people can access HRT to help reduce gender dysphoria.

Additional details

We believe the lack of NHS access can cause unnecessary distress and that young people should be able to access HRT before turning 18.
