Landmark reviews says children have been let down by a lack of research and "remarkably weak" evidence on medical interventions in gender care
Im Nick Meir with news that children have been let down by a lack of research and "remarkably weak" evidence on medical interventions in gender care, a landmark review says. The Cass Review, published on Wednesday by paediatrician Dr Hilary Cass, calls for gender services for young people to match the standards of other NHS care. She says the "toxicity" of the debate around gender meant professionals were "afraid" to openly discuss their views. NHS England says it has already made significant progress in making changes.
