Oxfordshire PCT's Refusal to Fund

Oxfordshire PCT has been operating what amounts to a blanket funding ban of core surgical procedures for gender dysphoria treatment.

Their policy is due to be reviewed in March, and in preparation Sally Outen, Rachel Payne, Sharly-Clare Busuttil and Alina Whiteman have prepared a report which has been presented to the PCT, as well as other interested bodies.

Petition NHS Funding for Surgery

At present, Sally is looking at finding as many ways as possible to take the PCT to task over this. For one thing, shes just had a petition approved on the Number 10 site:

http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/gdoxpct/

Besides putting a little more pressure on Oxfordshire PCT, she hopes it might send out a clear message to other PCTs that such policy won't be tolerated.

Please sign it if you support the cause. Feel free to circulate it everywhere and anywhere... lets stand together!

In other words... lets kick some arse people, i know some of you here think these kind of petitions never work, but every extra piece of pressure that we collectively apply makes them see... lets support Sally and all the others fighting Oxfordshire PCT...
