DHB Gender-affirming health services

Alistair made this Official Information request to MidCentral District Health Board

The request was successful.

From: Alistair

Dear MidCentral District Health Board,

Could you please advise whether the following gender-affirming healthcare services are funded by the MidCentral 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,

Alistair
