Deep dive report – people who are seldom heard

This is a report by Healthwatch Staffordshire. The project is a 'deep dive' into the views of people who are seldom heard.

The three seldom heard groups what were identified for this Deep Dive were:

• People undergoing Gender Affirmation (‘Gender affirmation is the process a transgender person goes through to change their physical sexual characteristics to match their gender identity. This typically involves a combination of surgical procedures and hormone treatment’.

• Rurality

• Co-occurring Needs (people who are neurodiverse).

There are recommendations in this report.

There are no follow up actions in this report.
