Figure 11: Child and Adolescent Referrals for Gender Dysphoria (UK, GIDS), 2010/11 to 2021/22

• Referral activity to GIDS/Tavistock was sharply limited in 2020-2021 due to COVID-19.

a Beginning in 2018-19, increasing numbers of referrals are not reported by birth registered sex.

b Limitations of the data: From the end of July 2021, AGEM CSU received referrals for GIDS from non-NHS sources (GP, schools, local authority, voluntary sector). All NHS referrals into GIDS went directly to the Tavistock and Portman GIDS. Data from the Tavistock and Portman GIDS website indicated that during 2021/22 they received in excess of 3000 referrals and further referrals received by AGEM CSU (approximately 1500 referrals) were not counted. Combined this indicated that the GIDS received a total of approximately 5000 referrals in 2021/22 alone. When reviewing the data that the GIDS provided against the number of referrals transferred into AGEM CSU as part of the waiting list transfer, the CSU only received 3115 referrals that were “new”. This is significantly less than the number expected considering that they reported that in 2021/22 there were over 5000 referrals received. It is difficult to know if the quoted, over 5000 referrals in 2021/22, is correct. There is a strong possibility that there was double counting during 2021/22 as the referral numbers received by AGEM CSU were being reported to the GIDS who were then also sharing this information with the Care Quality Commission.
