A new survey has just been released by RedC Research on behalf of the Health Service Executive (HSE) to assess experiences of transgender healthcare in Ireland.
RedC Research explains, “It aims to understand experiences of accessing, or attempting to access, gender‑affirming healthcare in Ireland, and views on how services should be organised in the future.”
It also comes at an uncertain time regarding the state of Irish trans healthcare, as Dr Karl Neff will step down as the HSE Gender Healthcare Clinical Lead at the end of the year.
For these reasons and many more, reforming the model of gender-affirming care is a pressing issue.
Trans Healthcare Action concludes, “It can be painful to discuss our experiences, reliving harm and trauma, but it truly is vital if we want to see things improve.”
