Yes. The current Welsh Government is Plaid Cymru, though. Access to trans healthcare has also been restricted in Scotland under the SNP.

How does this relate to the SC ruling? That was its own kind of bad and yes Starmer should have immediately amended the Equality Act to change the wording and restore the definition of gender identity in equality law, but I don't see what that has to do with this.

They are! I just don't think the devolved governments should be let off the hook here either. The SC ruling on the Equality Act obviously affects NHS provision but not wrt the availability of gender-affirming care per se, and the Cass Review itself only covers NHS England.
