Thank fuck.
'Appearing before MSPs today, key NHS Scotland medics defended the Cass Review’s methodology and said they did not agree that prescriptions should resume now.
Rhoda MacLeod, head of adult services at the specialist Sandyford Sexual Health Service run by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC), said: “The BMA are not a clinical organisation. They're a staff-side organisation and they're entitled to have their own views and perspectives on it, but obviously we would adhere to what the clinical perspective is, and that's what we're doing.”
Critics have dismissed the methodology used by paediatrian Dr Hilary Cass and disputed the findings. However, NHS Lothian medical director Tracey Gillies said she would “place a level of reliance” on the work, which has been appraised by a University of York team which has a “strong track record in looking at evidence, understanding how that evidence has been gathered, and then bringing a perspective to that that has the sort of scientific basis that we would expect to see in any other area of clinical practice”.
