Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of moving gender transition-related healthcare into primary care.

Children and adults experiencing gender incongruence require specialist support. NHS England's gender identity services are specialised services, due to the specific clinical expertise required to effectively support people experiencing gender incongruence. The Royal College of General Practitioners has published its advice on this matter, saying that general practitioners (GPs) are not experienced in treating and managing gender dysphoria, noting that is not part of GP training nor part of the GP curriculum.
