R (on the application of AC) v Berkshire West Primary Care Trust [2010] EWHC 1162 (Admin), [2010] All ER (D) 229 (May)
In dismissing an application for judicial review, the Administrative Court held that decisions made by the defendant trust to refuse funding to the claimant, a transsexual, for breast augmentation surgery were not irrationally made. The court further observed that there was no duty in either public law or discrimination law to classify all treatment and procedures sought by transsexuals as high priority or core procedures.
