Useful documentation:
http://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content...gend-proto.pdf (http://www.england.nhs.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/int-gend-proto.pdf)

I was recently given a copy of this PDF from a friend who said that i might qualify for the "bridging" due to depression issues. (Page 16)

"However, the GIC physician, the patient’s GP or another medical practitioner involved in
the patient’s care may prescribe “bridging” endocrine treatments as part of a holding and
harm reduction strategy while the patient awaits specialised endocrinology or other gender
identity treatment and/or confirmation of hormone prescription elsewhere or from patient
records."
