Trans Community letter to Secretary of State for Health, Wes Streeting

18th October 2024

GIRES has joined over 100 trans organisations, academic experts and individuals involved in trans healthcare to call on Wes Streeting to address the serious failings resulting from the Cass Review. 

The letter makes three key requests:

  • That government explain in full how the Cass Review was commissioned;
  • That it suspend the implementation of the Review’s recommendations immediately, including removing the current prohibitions on prescription of GnRH analogues (‘puberty blockers’) for trans children;
  • That it supports the British Medical Association’s ongoing review of the Review’s methodology and conclusions.
