UK Trans Info is a national organisation focused on improving the lives of trans and non-binary people in the UK. One of our main aims is to promote transparency, clarity and openness within public sector organisations. As such we have sent a series of requests under the Freedom of Information Act to all NHS and HSCNI organisations which contain a Gender Identity Clinic or Gender Identity Development Service. The purpose of these requests was to find out more about the waiting lists for accessing gender identity services in the UK and also to find out more about the current patient population. These requests are currently being sent on a quarterly basis. The most recent report covers a three month period from August to October 2015. This is the first report in which we have been able to cover child and adolescent services as well as adult.

This document has been written by an NHS England senior analyst. The document reports on the findings of visits that were made to six gender identity clinics in 2015, for the purpose of describing current pathways of care within each of the clinics. This document was obtained from NHS England by UK Trans Info, but it is a DRAFT.

This report remains draft while NHS England await comments from the clinics on factual accuracy, and pending further re-modelling by the senior analyst around a description of waiting times and bottlenecks in the pathways.

NHS England say this is a complex exercise and they envisage that this work will not complete until November 2015. The draft report remains in progress and no conclusions can be drawn from the draft report, nor can the validity of any recommendations be assessed, until a final version has been delivered and formally signed off by NHS England.

This document is shared on the UK Trans Info website under the terms of the Open Government Licence.

Programme and confirmed attendance list for Gender Identity Symposium being hosted by NHS England on 30th June 2015. Please note that this is a select meeting and not open for public participation. It has now been confirmed that the symposium will be webcast here and they plan to use twitter to connect others in to the room using #NHSGenderID hashtag. Further details will be added to this page as they become available.

Although this event is being hosted by NHS England and therefore some of the organisations invited are England specific, many of the organisations involved have UK-wide responsibilities. The repercussions of this meeting could therefore have a UK wide impact.
