Mr Victor Lye asked the Coordinating Minister for Social Policies and Minister for Health since the Treatment Guidelines for Children and Adolescents with Gender Dysphoria were introduced (a) how many patients had (i) existing treatment plans changed, deferred or discontinued and (ii) been unable to continue public healthcare treatment; and (b) what, if any, transitional and grandfathering arrangements were adopted to avoid or mitigate treatment disruptions.
