Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government when NHS England's evidence review of hormone treatment for adults with gender dysphoria will be published; and whether the NHS service specification on gender identity services for adults will be revised in the light of the findings of the review before any new services are commissioned.

NHS England plans to publish proposed clinical commissioning policies for the use of masculinising and feminising hormones in adult gender services later in the summer, for the purpose of public consultation. Separately, NHS England plans to publish new service specifications for adult gender services, for the purpose of public consultation, later this year.
