Health Minister Stephen Donnelly received urgent requests from transgender groups to meet him about the HSE’s ongoing use of the UK’s Tavistock clinic for Irish children with gender-identity issues.
Documents released under a Freedom of Information request show Mr Donnelly was contacted by a representative from Transgender Equality Network Ireland (TENI) and an individual, whose name was redacted, asking to meet the minister.
The requests came in August this year following concerns about the Tavistock clinic in the UK, which provided gender dysphoria services to Irish children and teenagers.
