Trans Women report into the access for NHS Gender Reassignment services
Edinburgh Trans Women assisted an Engender project called “Equality Counting”. An Engender group was formed from trans women organisations and called “Women Thinking Trans Issues.” The group identified the unequal provision of gender reassignment services across NHS health boards. The group conducted a survey of trans women about their experiences and also interviewed health boards about Equality Impact Assessments. The results are a report which reveals that gender reassignment services are a postcode lottery for trans women.
Visit the Engender downloads page for access to theses research results and information about Equality Counting.
