Jason Pulman , 15 , was found dead in Hampden Park in Eastbourne in April 2022 .

He was referred to the Gender Identity Development Service ( Gids ) in London in February 2020 by his GP .

After following up on its progress in October that year, he was told there was a 26-month wait for his first appointment.

Jason became increasingly frustrated at the wait and appeared to have given up’ in his behaviour to his family and himself.

New figures show more than 5,700 children awaiting appointments with new gender care services.

A Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson said children and young people who are questioning their gender identity have “for too long” struggled to get the necessary support. They added: “We are working with NHS England to transform gender identity services to tackle waiting times and ensure everyone receives holistic care, guided by clinical experts, paediatricians and psychologists.”.
