Alice Litman took her own life after waiting almost three years for an NHS clinic appointment.
By Ben Weisz & Hamish Mureddu-ReidThe coroner investigating the death of a trans woman said services for transgender people were "underfunded and insufficiently resourced".
Ms Clarke told Alice's family she wanted to offer the Surrey Borders Partnership Mental Health Trust and the Tavistock Gender Identity Clinic sufficient opportunity to respond before delivering her recommendations in two weeks' time. She had been waiting 1,023 days for her first appointment with the Tavistock and Portman Gender Identity Clinic.
In March 2020, after Alice had turned 18, she was discharged from mental health services altogether, the court was told on Monday.
