Some trans patients and rights campaigners say the delays smack of discrimination and neglect.

Echo estimated that she had spent about £30,000 on private doctors since she first went to her local doctor in August 2017.

“Long waits for state-funded or subsidised healthcare, challenges finding a doctor, and providers and insurance providers forcing trans people to justify why they need care are common globally,” he said. “I still don't have any indication of when I might get surgery,” they said, asking not to give their real name for privacy reasons.

But Echo and other activists also want to highlight the plight of trans adults waiting years to see a specialist. “It's been two years and a month since I had my stage 1 surgery,” said Chay Brown, a director of TransActual, who was told earlier in December that “further” surgeries would resume in March after virtually coming to a halt for two years.An NHS spokesperson said by email that doctors had started consultations with patients last week and that “surgery will start shortly”.
