I think most people know they have vowed to carry on but this Times article is quite good.

“The General Pharmaceutical Council, which regulates pharmacies in England, Wales and Scotland, said: “We are carefully considering Tuesday’s High Court ruling and any actions we should take as the pharmacy regulator.”

“ Following the judgement, criminal barristers have been instructed to consider whether or not any criminal offences have been committed. It is being considered whether doctors were reckless as to the consequences, and reckless as to whether children were properly able to give informed consent. There is the possibility that this could lead to criminal proceedings.”

I really hope this is true. Sadly, I think criminal proceedings will be the only thing to shock some sense in to people and make them think really hard about what they've been promoting.

To place an order, internet users enter a name, email address and payment details. They are asked to confirm they are over 18 but this is not checked.

Yeah, those checks sound very robust Hmm

Is anyone else worried that besides children being able to self medicate, puberty blockers are also very easily accessible to paedophiles? Or are we expected to believe that men won't go to the trouble on this front either?

The Times has led the way in the UK press - refusing to be silenced and repeatedly asking difficult questions and reporting the issues generally. 20 years ago I would have relied on the Guardian for their investigative journalism - not any more.
How things have changed. Sad

It doesn't say who has instructed criminal barristers to look into possible law breaking by doctors. Who do you think has done that? It doesn't specifically relate that to webberly.

I think The Times in general and Janice Turner in particular have been very good on this.
