Puberty blockers permanently banned in Northern Ireland to block supply loophole

Puberty blockers are now permanently banned in Northern Ireland after political parties on the government executive agreed to prevent their provision in the region.
The ban aims to stop Northern Ireland from becoming a 'back door' for transgender youth in Britain seeking medication.
The DUP’s Little-Pengelly stated, 'The protection and safety of our young people must be paramount.'
Trans advocacy groups criticized the ban, saying puberty blockers are an important part of treatment for some people.
