Tena koe e te Rangatira

Dear Counties Manukau District Health Board,

Thank you for your previous response - it has helped raise the hopes and expectations of many in our transgender and intersex communities.

Our community groups are currently researching the costs of clearing the entire current waiting list for gender surgeries.

I expect that you have undertaken some financial analysis in relation to your newly appointed surgeon.

Any readily available papers or spreadsheets analyzing the true total costs of providing these surgeries would be extremely helpful to our research.

Please provide whatever information you can quickly collate, as time is of the essence, given where we are in the planning cycle for Budget 2018/19.

Nga mihi,

Jem Traylen
