Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the interim report of the Cass Review, published in February 2022, if the Government will adopt the advice set out in that report on reforming the approach to providing gender identity services for children and young people and introduce a system in which local centres become direct service providers.

We welcome Dr Cass’ report and look forward to the publication of the full review, which will provide further detail on an improved model of care for children and young people with gender dysphoria.
