P-06-1229 Increase funding for Gender Identity Clinics in Wales, Correspondence – Petitioner to Committee, 10.12.21

Thank you for your response. I am very satisfied with the response from Eluned, and trust that the Welsh Gender Service is in good hands, especially with the suggestion of a clinic in North Wales. 

With all consideration, I still believe that there is a need for a dramatic increase in funding for the GIC. A waiting time of 2 years for a first appointment to support an extremely vulnerable community is very unsatisfying. I do however appreciate the comment from Eluned that the Welsh Gender Service aims to decrease waiting times further. I also appreciate that this is a relatively new service in Wales. 

Thank you again for your consideration of my petition and I truly hope this makes a difference. 

Many thanks,
