Stonewall responds to the Welsh Government's renewed programme for Government
The Welsh Government must achieve concrete equality outcomes through a strengthened LGBTQ+ action plan and the safeguarding of evidence-based healthcare for trans+ people, as repressive trends worldwide threaten the freedoms of LGBTQ+ people.
Trans+ people are entitled to access high-quality, evidence-based and timely healthcare that protects and supports their wellbeing and safety.
The text is a statement by the organisation Stonewall Cymru on the new government programme of the Welsh Government. It welcomes the Government's commitment to advancing LGBTQ+ equality and calls for a renewed, strengthened LGBTQ+ action plan. Particular emphasis is placed on the support of the UK Government for an inclusive ban on conversion practices. The text refers to the current decision of the NHS Wales Joint Commissioning Committee to suspend referrals for gender-affirming operations. It criticises the political instrumentalisation of the lives of trans+ people and their support services. It calls for trans+ people to have access to high-quality, evidence-based and timely healthcare. The organisation emphasises its endeavour to achieve equality before the law for all LGBTQ+ people and calls for cooperation with the devolved administrations.
