Gender Dysphoria: Health Services

Asked by Marie GoldmanLiberal DemocratDepartment of Health and Social CareTabled Answered 8 December 2025UIN 95761

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when his Department plans to publish the review of adult gender services.

Answered by Karin Smyth

We know that adults questioning their gender face long waiting lists for a first appointment at National Health Service adult gender services.

Dr David Levy’s Review of NHS Adult Gender Dysphoria Clinics will identify areas for improvement in relation to service quality, good practice that could be shared with other clinics, and any support that should be made available to services to assist improvement.

NHS England aims to publish the Review of Adult Gender Services in due course.
