‘Trans toddlers’ allowed gender treatment on NHS: The Telegraph

  • The NHS currently treats children of all ages, including nursery-age, who identify as transgender at specialist gender clinics across England.
  • This follows the removal of a previously planned minimum referral age of seven after consultations and the NHS decision to follow the Cass review's recommendation not to set age limits.
  • Children under seven receive counselling, therapy, and family support but do not receive puberty blockers or other powerful drugs, as these remain banned for those under 18.
  • Up to 10 children of nursery age and as many as 157 children under the age of ten have been referred, with approximately 250 youngsters having attended the newly established regional gender clinics aimed at expanding capacity and shortening waiting lists.
  • The expansion of services coincides with increased demand and waiting lists rising over 12% in a year, while experts and advocates debate the evidence basis and potential implications of early intervention.
