ALT “Today’s report must provide a watershed moment for the NHS’s gender identity services. Children’s healthcare should always be led by evidence and children’s welfare, free from culture wars. Clinicians and parents alike want the best for children at this crucial developmental stage. This report provides an evidence-led framework to deliver that. “The next Labour government will work to implement the expert recommendations of the Cass review, to ensure that young people are receiving appropriate and high-quality care. “I want to thank Dr Hilary Cass and her team for the thoughtful and thorough way in which they’ve undertaken their work. Given the vulnerability of the young people concerned, and the complexity of the issues identified by Dr Cass, it is vital that our politics takes an equally thoughtful and thorough approach. I am committed to working constructively with the Health Secretary to put children’s health and wellbeing above the political fray.”
