Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the answer by Baroness Merron on 15 April (HL Deb cols 332-334), what definition of ‘safeguarding’ they applied to that answer.
With reference to my answer in HL Deb cols 332-334 (NHS Adult Gender Identity Clinics), I summarised the care and safeguards provided within adult gender services, as described by the Gender Identity Services for Adults (Non-Surgical Interventions) service specification.
