Dear Capital and Coast District Health Board,
Could you please advise whether the following gender-affirming healthcare services are funded by the Capital & Coast District Health Board for transgender patients, and whether the services are currently available:
- Hormone therapy
Could you please provide information about the process of accessing those services that are available?
- Is care available on an Informed Consent basis?
- Specifically, is an assessment by a mental health professional required in order to access gender-affirming healthcare services? If so, which services?
- In the case of hormone therapy, can primary health providers prescribe hormones, or does this have to be initially approved by an endocrinologist?
- Is any period of real life experience required to access hormone therapy?
Yours faithfully,
Aly
