flag UK adult gender clinics face up to 15-year waits due to systemic failures, NHS review finds.

flag Waiting times for adult gender clinics in England could reach 15 years without urgent reforms, according to a review by NHS medical director Dr. David Levy. flag The report found widespread problems including long delays, inconsistent assessments, poor communication, and a lack of data on patient outcomes. flag Clinics often lacked basic quality assurance, clinical audits, and coordination across healthcare providers. flag Dr. Levy called the situation “unacceptable,” citing staff burnout, disrespectful cultures, and resistance to improvement. flag The review recommended clinics manage hormone prescriptions for at least a year before transferring care to primary providers and emphasized the need for better data collection, oversight, and support for patient-centered care.
