Retired consultant paediatrician Dr Hilary Cass speaking about the publication of the Independent Review of Gender Identity Services for Children and Young PeopleTHE Scottish Government has said it will “take the time to consider the findings” of the Cass Review into children’s gender services in England.
Cass said the first step “is to expand capacity, offer wider interventions, upskill the broader workforce, take an individualised, personal approach to care, and put in place the mechanisms to collect the data needed for quality improvement and research”.have said the review should be a “watershed moment”, with shadow health secretary Wes Streeting pledging to implement its recommendations should his party win the next General Election.
Responding to the report, the Scottish Government said it agreed that the debate around gender is toxic, and said it would consider how the recommendations for NHS England could inform care in Scotland. “While the Cass Review extends only to services provided by NHS England, we will now take the time to consider the findings of the final report in the context of how such healthcare can be best delivered here in Scotland.”Dr Cass – who conducted the review – said in the report there was “remarkably weak evidence” for some treatments in the field and young people had been caught up in a “stormy social discourse”.
