NHS England is the responsible commissioner for the Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS). In response to the recent High Court ruling regarding treatment pathways at the GIDS, NHS England is considering the future data reporting requirements for the service. These considerations will also be informed by the planned publication of a report by the Care Quality Commission following its inspection of the GIDS in November 2020.
