Dear Kathleen Smitheram,
Thank you for your helpful and informative response to my request.
As a point of clarification, could you please also provide any documents or communications about any potential cut to or reduction of funding toward services for LGBTQIA+ communities, trans and gender diverse populations, or gender affirming care?
Yours sincerely,
Mx Moira Clunie
From: Kathleen Smitheram
Canterbury District Health Board
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
