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

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
