In a joint statement put out by Sandyford Clinic and Ian Blackford MP, the SNP politician announced he will be holding a “Surgery in Portree next Thursday, 25th April.” Anyone who identifies as trans is invited to ring his office if you would like to make an appointment.
Giving background on this story, a senior clinical lead at Sandyford Clinic had this to say: “Now we are no longer issuing puberty blockers we have increased capacity to roll out more surgeries and reduce the waiting list. Ian Blackford volunteering in this way is much appreciated. We understand he has been holding surgeries at Portree for some time. Fortunately no clinical experience is necessary as all trans affirming treatments are experimental and we make it up as we go along.”
