answer text <p>The average waiting time for transgender people aged under 18 years old and over 18 years in each of the last 12 months is not centrally available.</p><p>NHS England currently has contracts in place with seven National Health Service trusts for the delivery of gender dysphoria services for individuals from 17 years of age (Newcastle; Leeds; Sheffield; Nottingham; Northampton; London; Exeter) and with two NHS trusts for the delivery of services for children and adolescents up to 18 years of age (Leeds; London). The young person’s service would not usually accept a referral for someone who is shortly due to turn 18 years. If this is the case, the service would generally recommend referring to an adult service instead. For young people on a waiting list for the young person’s service, arrangements can be made for a referral to an adult service from 17 years of age.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Department recognises that becoming a parent can have significant impact on an individual’s mental health. NHS England has invested in better perinatal mental health care for new and expectant mothers, with at least 9,000 additional women receiving treatment last year. This is significant progress against the target set out in the Five Year Forward View for Mental Health for at least 30,000 additional women each year to access evidence-based specialist perinatal mental health treatment.</p><p> </p><p>The NHS Long Term Plan commits to extend this support, including by offering fathers and partners of women accessing specialist perinatal mental health services and maternity outreach clinics evidence-based assessment for their mental health and signposting to support as required. This will contribute to helping to care for the 5-10% of fathers who experience mental health difficulties during the perinatal period.</p><p> </p><p>Parents are also able to access care and support, including talking therapies or specific community mental health support, the same as any other patient group.</p>

answer text <p>The Department launched the first infected blood consultation, ‘Infected blood: reform on financial and other support’<sup>1</sup>, in January 2016. The consultation confirmed that the majority of beneficiaries would prefer one scheme to the then five schemes. The second consultation ‘Infected blood: Consultation on Special Category Mechanism and financial and other support in England’<sup>2</sup> in October 2017 announced that NHS Business Services Authority, not the former scheme administrators, such as the Macfarlane Trust, would manage the new reformed scheme.</p><p>I have written to the Macfarlane Trust on a number of occasions since 12 September 2018 asking for its plans with respect to any residual funds it held on closure. I also reminded the Macfarlane Trust that it must operate in accordance with its trust deed which states that the funds can only be transferred to one or more bodies established for charitable purposes with similar, or the same, objectives to its own i.e. providing support for people infected with HIV. The Macfarlane Trust informed me of the transfer of the its residual funds and assets to the Terrence Higgins Trust via a letter dated 12 December 2018. Consultation with beneficiaries regarding this transfer of assets on closure was not the responsibility of the Department.</p><p>Notes:</p><p><sup>1</sup><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/infected-blood-reform-of-financial-and-other-support" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/infected-blood-reform-of-financial-and-other-support</a></p><p> </p><p><sup>2</sup><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/infected-blood-support-special-category-mechanism" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/infected-blood-support-special-category-mechanism</a></p>
