NHS England has published a proposed interim specification for the new services for children and young people with gender dysphoria.
It held a public consultation on the proposals, which closed on Sunday 4 December 2022.
This public consultation was an opportunity to check whether proposals are right and supported, whether the public understand their impact, and to identify any alternatives before decisions are made.
Once agreed, this interim service specification will be operational for a limited time only until a new service specification is agreed in 2023/24, that will be used by the upcoming set of regional providers, including the new phase one services.
You can read the specification and the consultation guide on the NHS England website.
