Speech in Lords Chamber - Mon 26 Jan 2026
Holocaust Memorial Day

"I am sorry. I will endeavour to keep my remarks short. I did not realise that I had to put my name down.

Anyway, when I was 15 years old, I came across a book, The Scourge of the Swastika, which, ironically, was written by the grandfather of the …..."

Written Question
Gender Dysphoria: Health Services
Wednesday 7th January 2026

Asked by: Lord Young of Norwood Green (Labour - Life peer)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government when they expect to implement recommendation (5) of the Cass Review.

Answered by Baroness Merron - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

NHS England is responsible for delivery of the Data Linkage Study. It is a retrospective study based on an analysis of data collected historically for a cohort of adults who, as children, were cared for under a former model of National Health Service gender care, the Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS). This study requires no active patient participation and instead relies on an analysis of the available digital information held within health records and other nationally held databases. The analysis will look for potential linkages or associations that do not prove ‘cause and effect’ but nonetheless may provide useful insights on the experience and outcomes of former GIDS patients.

NHS England has taken time to undertake due diligence work on the data sources critical to the study, and to work with organisations to refine the planned approach to data sharing. Study approvals are currently in progress. As with usual research practice, the Data Linkage Study protocol will be made available in the public domain once independent research and ethical approvals have been appropriately secured, at which point the analytical work can begin.

Written Question
Gender Dysphoria: Health Services
Wednesday 7th January 2026

Asked by: Lord Young of Norwood Green (Labour - Life peer)

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government when the results of NHS England's call for evidence on a clinical pathway for gender detransitioning will be published.

Answered by Baroness Merron - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

We are working with NHS England to implement the recommendations from the Cass Review to ensure everyone gets the high-quality care they need. This includes setting up a clinical pathway and provision for people considering detransition.

On 30 October 2025, NHS England published a call for evidence on a clinical pathway for adults who have previously undergone a gender transition and who wish to detransition. The call for evidence closes on 28 December 2025

NHS England is considering all relevant feedback that has been submitted. It will collate views, evidence and insights into a summary evidence report.

NHS England will use this evidence, together with other intelligence and further engagement, to begin to define a clinical pathway which will be tested through further stakeholder engagement and public consultation in 2025/26.
