NHS announces ‘immediate suspension’ of trans hormone referrals for under-16s
The NHS has announced that The Tavistock and Portman Trust has “immediately suspended new referrals for puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones for the under-16s”.
A spokesman broke the news in the wake of yesterday’s High Court ruling to protect children from ‘experimental and life-changing’ transgender drugs.
He added that in future such referrals “will only be permitted where a court specifically authorises it”.
