Alice Litman took her own life in May 2022, aged 20. She had been on an NHS waiting list for gender-affirming healthcare for almost three years.
Following a three-day inquest in Hove, Alice's family told Sky News her death should be a"wake-up call".
Telling the court she would be issuing a prevention of future deaths report, Ms Clarke added:"It's extremely important we recognise how important these issues are, not just here in Brighton and Hove, but everywhere."During the inquest, the head of the gender identity clinic said the number of trans people needing gender-affirming healthcare was an"order of magnitude" greater than the service could provide.
"It's not about trans women in sports and in toilets. We are literally talking about life and death."Why are trans people self-medicating?
