Gender services - The Grampian Gender Identity Clinic
Dear Grampian Health Board,
I am writing to request information under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act (2000). My enquiries relate to The Grampian Gender Identity Clinic and changes in service provision.
Could you please advise:
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 2023 inclusive), excluding patients who have waited for a shorter time due to a previous wait at another clinic.
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 2023 inclusive).
3. the current service provision of doctors in hours.
4. any downtime for the service (i.e. being closed) since the end of the last lockdown period in May 2021, and the reasons for this downtime.
5. if there are any plans to tackle the waiting time and improve the service provision.
Yours faithfully,
Astra Wilson
