NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and NHS Lothian said the decision came with the support of Scotland’s chief medical officer, Professor Gregor Smith, following a review by Dr Hilary Cass in England and the same decision being taken south of the Border.Clinic in Glasgow, while NHS Lothian provides care to those aged 17 and over at its Chalmers gender identity clinic.
Announcing the decision to pause puberty blocker prescriptions, Dr Emilia Crighton, director of public health at NHSGGC, said: “The findings informing the Cass Review are important and we have reviewed the impact on our clinical pathways. “We echo the views of Dr Hilary Cass that toxicity around public debate is impacting the lives of young people seeking the care of our service and does not serve the teams working hard to care and support them.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
