Trans teen in legal action over gender clinic wait

Trans teen in legal action over gender clinic wait A 14-year-old transgender boy is starting legal proceedings against NHS England over delays to gender reassignment treatment.

The teenager has waited over a year for referral to the only NHS gender clinic for children and adolescents.
