Transgender men have threatened to sue the NHS after being left with “half-built” genitalia. Human rights lawyers are representing patients who have been left with “indeterminate genitalia” and “psychological distress” after their surgery processes were unexpectedly halted.
NHS England had commissioned St Peter’s Andrology Centre, a private clinic in north London, to carry out the surgeries but did not renew the contract upon its expiry in March 2020.
It was not until September 2021 that New Victoria Hospital in Kingston was appointed as a replacement provider, creating a backlog that has left many patients facing delays of up to four years, midway through procedures that require multiple operations.
