Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether breast reconstruction surgery is routinely available on the NHS to women who detransition following a mastectomy carried out as treatment for gender dysphoria; and if not, why mastectomy is routinely commissioned but reconstruction is not.

NHS England has a published service specification that covers the provision of surgical interventions for individuals on the National Health Service pathway of care for the treatment of gender dysphoria. Providers are expected to follow this service specification.
