Ms Litman, originally from Surrey, was referred to the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services and to the Community Mental Health Recovery Service before she turned 18. In a statement read out in court on Tuesday, Michael Webberley, co-founder of Gender GP who met Ms Litman in September 2019, said her parents reached out to him after she was referred to the Tavistock and Portman Foundation because the waiting list there was too long.“The extraordinarily long waiting list is causing severe mental health rates for trans people.
