NHS use of puberty blockers legal challenge begins Legal action is being launched against the NHS over the prescribing of drugs to delay puberty.
Papers have been lodged at the High Court by a mother and a nurse against the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust, which runs the UK's only gender-identity development service (Gids).
Lawyers will argue it is illegal to prescribe the drugs, as children cannot give informed consent to the treatment.
The Tavistock said it had a "cautious and considered" approach to treatment. BBC News
