Victoria Atkins said it was ‘morally and medically reprehensible’ that some online providers might still issue hormone prescriptions to children.
The Health Secretary has pledged to work to close any loopholes which could see online providers prescribe hormones to gender-questioning children as she hit out at the “morally and medically reprehensible” practice.
The report concluded that children had been let down by a lack of research and evidence on the use of puberty blockers and hormones, in a debate that it described as having become exceptionally toxic. The review also stated that GPs had expressed concern about being pressurised to prescribe hormones after they have been first handed out to a patient by a private provider.Those involved in the care and support of gender questioning children and young people must comply with principles of good professional practice and their legal obligations.
Officials at the Department of Health and Social Care have asked health watchdog the Care Quality Commission to “look again at the age thresholds in their licensing conditions”, Ms Atkins added. The Health Secretary also confirmed that all seven adult gender clinics – six of which had refused to take part in research alongside the Cass Review – had since agreed to “fully co-operate”.
