Health Commission Wales to reconsider funding for Gender Reassignment Surgery

I have been contacted by Chris Pearse who has expressed a wish for me to point out that a large part of this petition statement has been adapted (with permission) from the petition statement found at http://www.petitiononline.com/nhsgidsp/petition.html

To:  The Health Commission Wales

We, the Undersigned recognise an intrinsically unfair, poor, and inadequate level of service in the Health Commission Wales (HCW) treatment of persons suffering with Gender Identity Disorder/Gender Dysphoria.

There is a blatent disregard towards lack of funding for Gender Reassignment Surgery (GRS) is not only disgusting but emottionally and physically traumatic to those with Gender Identity Disorder/Gender Dysphoria.

We call for immediate and prompt investigation, and realistic assessment of the service provision for this condition, followed by effective and realistic reform to meet the current international Standards of Care and government aims for the HCW as a whole, to include recognition and assessment of the patients distresses, personal circumstances, needs, ability to make rational judgement, and choices, alongside nessecary medical criteria, and not simply ignored as they currently are.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
