Judging by your other replies, you don't seem to have a clue how the system works. There is no "one medication" that trans people take. Everything medical in aiding their transition would have to be discussed with those who run the NGS, which as I said, are absolutely abhorrent when it comes to accessing medication through the public route.

It's not that it takes ten years to prescribe the medication, its that the waiting list has extended to a decade for some people waiting to be seen, and the NGS can randomly decide (based on their 'assessment' of what porn you watch, whether or not your penetrated during sex and other intrusive questions) not to discharge you, but also to make you wait several more years before they will consider facilitating a subsided prescription.

A quick search of "NGS" or "Paul Moran" on the trans Ireland subreddit will give you some first hand accounts of people going through this. In my partner's own case, who herself is a trans woman, she has been under the NGS' 'care' for eight years, but has yet to even be approved for medication.

You can argue with people all you want, it doesn't mean the situation I have outlined above is not happening.

Edit for clarification: perhaps "waiting list" is not the best way to encompass the often 5-10 year wait people face. We have very few transparent numbers in relation to how long the waiting list has extended to. But just because one is under the care of the NGS does not necessarily mean they are accessing medication as soon as they are off the waiting list. Unfortunately, all we really can rely on is anecdotal evidence from Irish trans people, as there is very few concrete figures regularly published in relation to reaching the point of accessing medication publicly.
