> We agree with the review conclusions that, at the present time, there is insufficient evidence to support the benefits of puberty-suppressing hormones and that the risks of harm remain a significant potential concern.
What an absolutely transphobic thing to say.
But Yale said the report was wrong!
There was a limitation on what documents could be released during UK election period – [UK General Election 2024: guidance for civil servants](https://www.gov.scot/publications/uk-general-election-guidance-for-civil-servants/)
> Similarly, announcements by the Scottish Government may have a particular impact on UK general election issues, for example, the publication of policy statements which have a specific reserved or cross-border dimension.
>Ministers will wish to be aware of the particular sensitivities in this regard and might decide, on advice, to postpone making certain announcements until after the UK general election.
the SNP being a cesspit of backstabbing, lying wankers who would throw a persecuted minority under the bus the second it helps them out? well, we’ve NEVER seen that before! /s
fucking assholes. im so sick of being fucked over again and again by careerists trying to hold on to power – especially when we JUST watched a ton of transphobic MPs lose their seats. this is batshit.

Great more Cass review shite, It was only absolutely discredited days after it was revealed by anyone with an understanding of the academic system and peer review and most recently was lambasted by the Yale law school for its near front to end failings and misrepresentations of basically all of its points, but sure we get to keep the Cass review anyway.
I cant wait to for us to take Enron and Ineos’ “reviews” on human caused climate change next.
So it seems like they’ve implemented the Cass review suggestions in their entirety.
That includes setting up regional centres rather than it all being out of Sandyford. Also continuing the puberty blockers ban, collaborating with NHS England on studies, and better data collection.
Here’s a summary of what they are proposing.
>Service Model: Develop a distributed service model based in paediatric services, with strong links between secondary and specialist services. This will move away from the current centralized model at the Sandyford Clinic.
>Pause New Prescriptions: Continue the pause on new prescriptions of puberty-suppressing hormones and gender-affirming hormones for young people under 18 years old, as already implemented by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde and NHS Lothian.
>Multidisciplinary Approach: Implement a holistic, multidisciplinary team approach to assessment and care planning for children and young people with gender-related distress.
>Research Participation: Engage with NHS England and the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) regarding Scottish participation in their forthcoming research study on puberty-suppressing hormones.
>Data Collection: Improve data collection for gender identity healthcare services, including developing a quarterly, aggregate data collection for NHS Gender Identity Clinic waiting times.
>National Standards: Develop national standards for gender identity healthcare through Healthcare Improvement Scotland, expected to be published in summer 2024.
>Training and Education: Develop a Transgender Care Knowledge and Skills Framework through NHS Education for Scotland, with specific work on young people’s services to follow.
>Information Resources: Develop additional public-facing resources on the NHS Inform website and Healthcare Improvement Scotland’s Right Decision Service.
>Service Evaluation: Commission an independent evaluation of the impact of Scottish Government funding allocated to Health Boards for improving gender identity services.
>Transition Services: Review current transfer arrangements between youth and adult services to ensure continuity of care.
>Collaborative Development: Develop future services collaboratively, including co-design with children and young people themselves.
>Research Strategy: Participate in UK-wide collaboration on addressing research challenges in gender identity healthcare.
