Dear Gloria
Official information request W19-334
I refer to your official information request dated 16 April 2019.
Request:
Could you please advise how many transgender people received each of the following services, specifically for gender
affirming healthcare purposes, within the 2018 calendar year?
- Puberty blockers
- Hormone therapy
- Mastectomy
- Hysterectomy
- Orchidectomy
- Facial hair removal
- Breast augmentation
- Voice training
- Facial feminization surgery
Response:
Your OIA request, W19-334, is very similar in nature to a previous request Wairarapa District Health Board responded
to last year.
Wairarapa DHB refers services of this nature to our neighbouring DHB's and we have nothing further to add to the
previous response, which you can find on our w
ebsite HERE.
Should you require anything further to aid you in your enquiry, you are welcome to be in touch with me directly by
email [email address].
Please note that this response, or an edited version of this response, may be published on the Wairarapa District Health
Board website no less than one week after the response has been provided to you. Any personal or identifying
information will be redacted from any response published online. The DHB will endeavour to resolve any concerns you
should raise but, subject to any legal grounds for withholding, ultimately reserves the right to publish any information.
If you wish to discuss this response with us, please feel free to contact:
