Consent forms for GI procedures and treatments, and number of patients undergoing these treatments.

The request was partially successful.

Dr Ruth Livingstone

Dear Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust,

I am a retired GP and writer, currently researching an article on gender clinics and informed consent.

Please could you send me copies of each different consent form used, for both adults and children, over the past 5 years within your trust (i.e. 2017 to 2022 inclusive) for the following procedures and treatments:
1) Cross-sex hormones
2) Puberty blockers
3) Gender reassignment surgery (including but not limited to breast surgery, genital surgery, hysterectomies, orchidectomies, phalloplasty, metoidioplasty, facial surgery, thyroid/tracheal shaves, and other cosmetic procedures for gender reassignment purposes, etc).

Please could you send me the numbers of patients undergoing the treatments / procedures in the 3 categories above, broken down by age and biological sex, over the most recent 5 years for which you have the data. (By biological sex: I mean the sex recorded on the birth certificate. By age: the relevant age groups are fine, as long as we can differentiate children, teenagers, young adults, middle aged and older adults.) A spreadsheet containing this information would be really helpful.

If you do not provide any of the above procedures yourself, please would you provide a list of the Trusts or providers to which you refer your patients for gender-reassignment endocrine and surgical services.

Yours faithfully,

Dr Ruth Livingstone
