New U.K Petition to the Govenment to End the postcode lottery (please read)

[Berliegh]

The current PCT funded NHS allows each PCT to effectively decide how they will manage their budget. This means that the amount and the quality of funded provision of healthcare associated with Gender re-assignment towards transsexuals largely depends on where you live which cannot be right at all. There has to be a fairer system, which would allow equal access to the same healthcare regardless of where you live.

The reality of the NHS at present is that one PCT in one area will fund almost all associated procedures, where as another will fund none at all. What are these associated procedures? they are as follows; Facial hair removal, breast augmentation, trachea shave and rhinoplasty.

These are absolutely essential for a transssexual woman to live successfully in her chosen gender role, my PCT is calling these procedures cosmetic, which is not the case at all.

What this petition asks is that the Prime minister and his cabinet colleague the Health Minister end this unfair system of healthcare provision.
