Wilson asks about system-wide safeguards during policy uncertainty. Wallach says H&H has not changed its scope of practice for gender-affirming care.

Carl Wilson

Are there system-wide safeguards that help ensure patients do not experience abrupt interruptions in medically necessary care, especially during periods of policy uncertainty?

Andrew Wallach

So I can start again on that.

Andrew Wallach

And I would say they have been known.

Tiffany L. Cabán

And if there's anything that you need to get back to us on, let's find two.

Andrew Wallach

Thank you.

Andrew Wallach

But just to say, we have not changed our scope of practice for gender-affirming care at New York City Health and Hospitals.

Carl Wilson

Okay.
