Figures show 3797 people are waiting for an appointment at the Sandyford service.
Sandyford Clinic in Glasgow which is the only service in Scotland that treat children as young as 13 with gender dysphoria
In February, a message posted on the clinic's website stated it was unable to offer new appointments to young people due to demand for treatment.A freedom of information request by The Herald has shown the extent of pressure on the service. NHS GGC runs four Sandyford clinics in Glasgow, including the main centre at Sandyford Place and others in Clydebank, Greenock and Paisley.
It said:"Efforts are made more challenging by ongoing media and political scrutiny, and the additional public attention that has followed. Scotland’s social justice secretary, Shirley-Anne Somerville, announced last week that ministers would lodge a petition for a judicial review of Westminster's plans to use section 35 of the Scotland Act 1998 to prevent the Holyrood bill from going for royal assent.While the political wrangling continues, charities say the young people requiring support are bearing the brunt of public disharmony.
