Children will no longer be prescribed puberty blockers at gender identity clinics, NHS England has confirmed.
The Government said it welcomed the “landmark decision”, adding it would help ensure care is based on evidence and is in the “best interests of the child”.
TalkTV's Julia Hartley Brewer hailed the "fantastic news".
"Experimental drugs with huge harms should never have been given to children in the first place.

Health minister, Maria Caulfield, said: “We have always been clear that children’s safety and wellbeing is paramount, so we welcome this landmark decision by the NHS.
