Ministry of Health Transgender Health Plans

Amanda Ashley made this Official Information request to Julie Anne Genter

The request was partially successful.

From: Amanda Ashley

Dear Julie Anne Genter,

I am writing to request an update on Transgender Health plans. It is my understanding that the Ministry is currently working on a plan in regards to the High Cost Treatment Pool for funding of affirming surgeries. Is this correct? And are there likely to be changes put in place by the end of this year?

I would appreciate as much transparency in this matter as possible.

Yours faithfully,

Amanda Ashley
