La lista d’attesa per l’assistenza transgender verrà chiusa a causa di problemi di risorse

As is the case with so many aspects of both medical care and the country as a whole, it’s fucking disgusting that things have gotten to this point. We’re supposed to be a rich, developed country, yet time and time again we experience situations like this that lay bare just how poorly the country is functioning beyond a cursory glance.

Really feels like our government have been completely caught on the hop of people realising they’re different, and specifically parents realising that their kids might have things like gender divergencies or neurodivergences.

You can do everything by the book and try to get help at the earliest opportunity and the government will just shut the door in your face. I feel very sorry for anyone who waits a literal lifetime just to get seen by a doctor and the doctor may well not decide to give you the healthcare you need anyway.

I’ve no idea if this is a complete policy breakdown, or a funding issue or a skills shortage, but it’s ridiculous for a first world wealthy country to just have no gender service anymore.

In the case of autistic kids I really feel the government are given a hard time particularly by the teaching unions who seemingly want to wash their hands of special education but there’s no excuse on the gender issue.

NGS not really fit for purpose anyways. Wasn’t it sending most people to the UK for actual treatment? Needs a complete overhaul as outlined by Labour just last [week](https://www.rte.ie/news/ireland/2025/1203/1547051-trans-healthcare-ireland/)
