Yours faithfully,

Moira Clunie

Dear Moira

 

We have answered the question in your email below under Question 2 in our
response attached:

 

The only clarification would be to add in the ‘potential’ as follows:

 

There are no communications or documents about cutting or reducing funding
towards services for the

LGBTQIA+ community and transgender and gender diverse populations as there
have been no

reductions or cuts in services nor have any been proposed as potential
cuts or reductions.

 

Kind regards
