GCN covered PATHI's celebration of the INMO's decision to lobby for the implementation of WPATH.

“This landmark step by Ireland’s largest healthcare trade union demonstrates a powerful and progressive commitment to evidence-based, person-centred, and rights-affirming healthcare for trans people in Ireland.”

 “Trans people in Ireland deserve safe, timely, accessible, equitable, culturally competent, and trauma-informed care and this vote marks a crucial step towards making that a reality,” the statement read.

Ryan Goulding, who is the Primary Health Field Representative for PATHI, a lecturer in mental health nursing and a registered mental health nurse, also welcomed the move, saying: “This vote is a clear call for change.”

“It signals strong professional support for trans-affirming care and reflects the growing consensus across the healthcare sector that trans people in Ireland must have access to safe, timely, accessible, equitable healthcare cemented in informed consent.”
