Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the written answer by Baroness Merron on 17 September (HL3339), how many NHS referrals for (1) mastectomy, and (2) genital, surgery as treatment for gender dysphoria, were made in each of the past ten years, broken down by sex and age group.

Data was not collected nationally until 2023/24, so the only data collected and available was that provided in the previous response to which the Noble Baroness has referred.
