	<title>Restore Access to Gender‑Affirming Surgeries in Wales</title>

	<description>Trans people in Wales have been left in limbo following a decision by NHS Wales to pause access to gender affirming surgeries without warning. The decision was made by the NHS Wales Joint Commissioning Committee (NWJCC), who claim the decision was made after receiving complaints and “concerns.” Yet they also admit they are not aware of any patients who have been harmed as a result of being referred for gender‑affirming surgery. The only harm anyone has evidenced is the harm caused by the pause itself. Please join us in writing to Juliet Brown, NHS Wales&#x27; Chief Commissioner. Together, we can ensure that trans people in Wales regain access to the healthcare they have already waited far too long for.</description>
