Abstract
A CASE which will be of interest to students of medical law, public law and human rights, North West Lancashire Health Authority v. A, D, & G [1999] Lloyd's Rep. Med. 399, concerned three transsexuals who wanted “sex-change” operations. The health authority's policy was to give low funding priority to procedures it considered of little or no clinical benefit; the authority would not fund “gender reassignment” except in cases of “overriding clinical need” or other exceptional circumstances, though it would fund psychotherapy.
