Subject: Freedom of Information request - What are the PCT's policies for on gender reassignment?
From: W Hawkins <[FOI #985 email]>
To: "FOI requests at Nottinghamshire County Teaching Primary Care Trust (PCT)" <[email address]>


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.
