Raise care infrastructure funding for adults seeking gender dysphoria treatment

Open for signatures 67 signatures

What the petition asks

Increase funding for care infrastructure for adults seeking gender dysphoria treatment to ensure that there is sufficient capacity, expanded care, assessment bottlenecks are tackled, standardised care, and greater investment in workforce training.
Waiting times at gender dysphoria clinics in the UK are between 5-8 years, and demand is increasing. We believe it is time for an improvement in infrastructure and greater funding to significantly speed up wait times and help struggling staff.
