Michelle O’Neill said a temporary suspension of puberty blockers was “based on clear and unequivocal advice from the Chief Medical Officer pending review”
Stormont has been urged to reverse a decision to extend a temporary ban on the sale or supply of puberty blockers to Northern Ireland.
Meanwhile, NHS England is expected to start a trial into the use of puberty blockers early next year. “The three-month temporary suspension of puberty blockers for children and young people is based on clear and unequivocal advice from the Chief Medical Officer pending review. “This protest shows the level of community upset at the decision which has been taken without much consultation with trans communities,” she said.
They called for Stormont to reverse the decision and commission and reform gender affirming health care services.
