Subject: Official Information request - MSD Treatment of Transgender Clients

Dear Ministry of Social Development,

Please advise me of steps MSD has taken to ensure the dignity and respect of transgender clients, including staff training guidelines, policies around changing clients' gender markers and the honorifics used in communications from the ministry, and copies of the minutes from meetings that include the keywords "transgender", "gender diverse", or "gender diversity", "gender marker".

Yours faithfully,

Liam Nelson
