Brackenburn Adult Gender Services
I am writing to request information under the terms of the Freedom of
Information Act (2000). My enquiries relate to the Brackenburn adult gender
service.
Please provide:
1. The average (mean) time in weeks from referral to first treatment or
assessment appointment for patients whose first such appointment
happened last quarter (between 1st April to 30th June 2022 inclusive),
excluding patients who have waited for a shorter time due to a previous
wait at another clinic.
Average (mean) time is 255 weeks.
2. The average (mean) time in weeks between treatment or assessment
appointments for patients who received a follow-up appointment last
quarter (between 1st April to 30th June 2022 inclusive).
This information is not recorded – patient review appointments for treatment or
assessment vary considerably based on individual clinical need.
3. Copies of any documents (e.g. shared care agreements, prescribing
guidance, training materials) that the service provides (either as a matter of
course, or when appropriate) to patients’ GPs.
There are no Trust documents, other than a patient clinical letter that is provided
to GPs.
4. Please could you also confirm whether referrals to the service are
currently being accepted?
Yes, the service has never stopped accepting referrals.
