‘It is unclear why some recommendations made in 2005 were not implemented...’

Funding? Research possibilities? Lobby groups?

The document details concerns raised by some clinicians at that time about alleged pressure on staff to refer patients for treatment with puberty blockers, a lack of a robust evidence base underpinning this treatment, and the apparently troubled backgrounds of some young people referred. These included past sexual abuse and trauma.
