Children as young as 16 years old will still be provided with cross-sex hormones by England’s National Health Service despite announcing a ban on puberty-blocking drugs for children.
The move was criticised by former Health Minister Jackie Doyle-Price, who said: “This kind of hormone treatment causes permanent loss of sexual function. It should never be administered to children for the purposes of gender reassignment. Yet, although the doors of Tavistock are set to be closed, the NHS has decided to continue transgender treatements for children at regional centres throughout the country. As opposed to Tavistock, the regional centres will be run by doctors rather than therapists and will be instructed to consider the impact of such treatments on other than on the mental health of the child.
“The NHS must urgently rethink before any more children are harmed by medical practices that are driven by ideology rather than evidence of clinical benefit.”
