Independent review of gender identity services for children and young people: interim report

Independent review of gender identity services for children and young people: interim report This interim report represents the work of the independent review of NHS gender identity services for children and young people to date. It does not set out final recommendations - these will be developed over the coming months, informed by a formal research programme. The role of this review is to consider how to improve and develop the future clinical approach and service model. It finds that the rapid increase in the number of children requiring support and the complex case-mix means that the current clinical model, with a single national provider, is not sustainable in the longer term. It uncovers a lack of routine and consistent data collection as well as an absence of consensus and open discussion about the nature of gender dysphoria and therefore about the appropriate clinical response.
