Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Merron on 16 July (HL1829), what progress NHS England has made in reviewing responses to its call for evidence on the clinical pathway for detransitioners, which closed in December 2025; and when they expect to publish their conclusions or a service specification.

A period of consultation on the proposed clinical commissioning policies is expected to begin in the coming months, with a final decision expected in spring 2027.

Regarding NHS England’s work to develop a clinical pathway for detransitioners, more information for stakeholders is also expected to be published in the coming months, following the Call for Evidence to which the Noble Baroness has referred.
