Thumbs up Scotland's under-18s gender clinic pauses puberty blockers




Scotland's NHS has paused prescribing puberty blockers to children referred by
its specialist gender clinic.

The Sandyford clinic in Glasgow also said new patients aged 16 or 17 would no
longer receive other hormone treatments until they were 18.

It follows a landmark review of gender services for under-18s in England.

Dr Hilary Cass's review said children had been let down by a lack of research
and there was "remarkably weak" evidence on medical interventions.

NHS England confirmed it would stop prescribing puberty blockers in March.
