Fuck, so they deliberately stoke the monster, create the perfect conditions that creates and glamourises the distress of young people and children, and then they take the monster away, leaving all these kids high and dry.

Absolute fuckers

I wonder if staff are jumping ship?

The Herald understands that the over-stretched Sandyford service is also facing a funding cut of around half a million pounds a year.

The Glasgow City Health and Care Partnership (CHCP) said “all aspects” of health and social care services were being considered and that difficult decisions would have to be made.

There have been calls for the Sandyford gender clinic to be closed after NHS England decided to wind up the equivalent service in London.

"A message on the website states that due to pressure within the service and a significant reduction in staff it is unable to offer new appointments to young people. Adult appointments are also limited."
