'Gender services for children and young people in Scotland will now be delivered by paediatricians in a regional network of clinical settings instead of at the existing Sandyford clinic in Glasgow. '

'Access to the service is now only available following referral from a clinician, which Ms Minto said was in line with other child and adolescent specialist services.
New National Standards for Gender Identity Care include a commitment that young people will be screened for neurodevelopmental conditions and autism during initial assessments for gender dysphoria.
A new training framework is to be introduced too, aimed at improving specialist skills of staff who will work within an "evidence-based" approach.
Detailed care plans will be required for each patient to transfer from children's to adult services.

' ....the Scottish Government has accepted all the findings of the Cass Review: Implications for Scotland report, published in July, and that work is underway to implement its recommendations.'

This seems like good news?

Yes. It's NHS Scotland responding to Cass.

'Following the Chief Medical Officer establishing a multidisciplinary clinical team to consider, in the context of Scottish services, the recommendations of the NHS England commissioned Cass Review on gender identity services for young people; Public Health Minister Jenni Minto confirmed that the Scottish Government has accepted all the findings of the Cass Review: Implications for Scotland report, published in July, and that work is underway to implement its recommendations.
These recommendations include:

  • gender identity healthcare services for children and young people being provided in paediatric clinical settings
  • the provision of these services via a distributed network, or regional model, rather than on one site
  • an end to self-referral, with young people being referred to specialist services by a clinician, in common with other specialities.'
