From: W Hawkins To: "FOI requests at Nottinghamshire County Teaching Primary Care Trust (PCT)" Dear Sir or Madam, Can the PCT release a copy of its current policy for assessment/treatment for gender reassignment/dysphoria? What is the officially recognised path for patients requesting gender reassignment? Is gender dysphoria classed as a mental-health issue by Nottinghamshire County Teaching PCT? How does the PCT deal with GP's formally requesting psychiatric referral for diagnosis of gender dysphoria? Is there a waiting list for patients requesting 'Gender Identity Clinic' referral, how long is the average wait? Yours faithfully, W Hawkins. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Disclaimer: This message and any reply that you make will be published on the internet.
