NewsNHS Gender Services Blocked scientific studies
The Cass’s finding just dropped, and one of the key findings imo is how NHS Gender Services hindered analysis of the data. While this may not come as a surprise to many, seeing it presented so clearly is still chilling.
"Cass disclosed in the report that six of the NHS’s seven specialist gender services in England for adults had “thwarted” an attempt by York University, at her request, to obtain and analyse the health outcomes of people who had been treated by Gids in order to improve future care.
This refusal to cooperate “was coordinated”, she told the Guardian. “It seemed to me to be ideologically-driven.”. Clinicians caring for those with gender-related distress are very divided on how best to do that, she acknowledges in the report."
To my knowledge, there is no other public health domain where such red tape exists, and is allowed to stay unchallenged.
