Gender reassignment treatments for young people to get expert review
NHS England announcement follows legal challenge to prescribing of puberty-delaying drugs
The use of hormone treatments for young people who want to undergo gender reassignment is to be examined by experts, it has emerged.
The announcement by NHS England comes just weeks after the start of a landmark legal challenge to the prescribing of drugs to delay puberty. The case has been brought against the Tavistock and Portman NHS foundation trust, which runs the UK’s only gender-identity development service (GIDS).
