To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 2 November 2022 to Question 72433 on Gender Dysphoria: Children and Young People, what recent progress he has made on establishing a new phase one service in London.
Answer
NHS England’s consultation on the interim service specification that the Phase 1 service in London will follow closed last December. NHS England has now reviewed and analysed the responses and a report summarising all the feedback received will be published soon, alongside the final interim service specification.
NHS England intends to provide an update on timescales for the Phase 1 services commencing operation, as well as wider progress being made to transform and improve service provision in this important area, shortly.
