Background
Transgender and non-binary people face severe financial and logistical barriers to accessing essential gender affirming healthcare (GAHC) in the UK.
High private costs and lengthy NHS waiting lists cause severe distress and poor mental health outcomes.
Making GAHC free and readily available upholds the principle of universal healthcare, supports the well-being of a vulnerable minority, and ensures equitable access for all citizens.
