More than 1,000 have had the surgery in the last decade, according to new figures obtained by the Daily Express.

The number has trebled since the procedure became a "right" 10 years ago.

Almost 80 per cent of the operations are to change a man into a woman.

But critics argue that sex-change surgery is a waste of valuable NHS resources when patients are suffering because of healthcare rationing, especially as Britain is in the grip of a major swine flu outbreak.
