FOI 2026/1772

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 I request the following information from the Indigo GIC.

1. Do all patients have a psychological assessment before they (a) start cross sex hormones (b) are referred for surgery?
2. If yes how many appointments do they have and how long is each appointment.
3. How many clinicians are involved in these assessments and please state the speciality of these clinicians?
4. Please share the protocol for the psychological assessments.
5. Please share the protocol you follow when assessing a patient for surgery referral.
6. Is there a consent process within GICs prior to referring a patient for surgery?
7. If yes please share a copy of the protocol and the consent form(s).
8. When referring patients for hysterectomy is one of the reasons to mitigate the risk of endometrial cancer (testosterone increases the risk of uterine cancer in women)?

NHS Greater Manchester does not hold the information requested; this is because the Indigo Service is commissioned via NHS England Specialist Commissioning and the questions raised relate to clinical practice, assessment protocols and consent processes within the Indigo Gender Identity Clinic. Therefore, it will be necessary for you to contact the provider organisation directly for the information you seek.

In line with Section 16 (advise and assist) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, please find below a link to the provider website to assist you.
