Report says NHS has ‘facilitated greater access’ to surgery for gender dysphoria patients whilst services are cut for women in pain
“It is striking to note how NHS Specialised Commissioning has facilitated greater access to gender reassignment surgery for gender dysphoria – even though some of the surgical procedures involved are the same as those used to treat e.g. congenital breast developmental issues.”“We see it as both inconsistent and illogical that a procedure can be deemed of limited clinical value for one group of patients or medical condition, but acceptable for another, where there is no substantial difference in the surgical outcomes.”
