P-06-1229 Increase funding for Gender Identity Clinics in Wales

This petition was submitted by Rosie Williams, having collected a total of 52 signatures.

Text of Petition:                     

Currently, there is only 1 Gender Identity Clinic (GIC) in Wales. The waiting time for this GIC is between 24-30 months for a first appointment, nevermind the rest of the treatment. Trans people in Wales are struggling already and having a single GIC in Wales with an absurdly high waiting time is extremely damaging, especially to young trans people. We need increased funding.
