BBC News reports on data obtained by Newsnight that it would take NHS adult gender clinics ten years to clear the backlog of people waiting for first appointments in gender care.

Caroline Litman, mother of Alice Litman, 20, who killed herself while waiting for treatment, called for urgent changes. A coroner ruled that the long waiting times to access gender care had directly contributed to her death.
