Most trans* people depend on the NHS for gender confirmation treatments and genital/chest reconstruction surgery. All trans* people rely on the health service for their general health needs.
Progress has been made in tackling discrimination towards trans* people in the NHS with some organisations taking systematic steps to meet the needs of trans* service users and trans* staff. These are beacons of good practice. However, UK research found that 65% of trans* people reported one or more negative interactions when receiving general healthcare.
