The main route is enabled by a simple, glaring omission in the legislation: the government could have banned the importation of puberty blockers but did not.

Green told i she sought legal advice from David Lock KC, one of the lawyers challenging the ban in the high court, and prior to that had contacted Jolyon Maugham, a KC, and a campaigner for trans rights. He is the director of the Good Law Project, which is supporting the high court case.

[...]

Green, using this advice, established a route by which she believes her clinic can help provide puberty blockers to under-18s. First, Anne Health is hiring clinicians – nurses, doctors, and endocrinologists – who are not based in the UK (even though the company is) which means their specialist doctors in the European Economic Area are free to write prescriptions and “are regulated by their own medical bodies outside of the UK”.

Then, once prescribed, because the ban relates to England, Wales and Scotland but not Northern Ireland, the prescriptions will be sent to alternative addresses in Northern Ireland, from where patients from mainland Britain can collect them. “We’ve got a network of Northern Ireland families who are willing to take receipt of medication sent to them,” said Green. “The families just need to go over there and the kids need to get the medication and if they bring it back it exploits this legal loophole.”

Wow! That is convoluted and is a very clear attempt to circumvent the law, based on a series of technicalies.

ResisterOfTwaddleRex · 19/07/2024 17:01

Is this a loophole? Or is it importing a banned substance?

Theeyeballsinthesky · 19/07/2024 17:05

She’s trapped in a hell of her own making whereby the only way she can convince herself that it was fine to medically transition and castrate her child at the age of 16 is to encourage other parents to do the same

she can never ever stop and reflect because she can’t open the door to the enormity of what she did

misery loves company and she wants other parents there with her so they can all
convince themselves that they did the right thing by allowing their healthy children to
embark on life long medical treatment

Ereshkigalangcleg · 19/07/2024 17:12

Yes, exactly.

LizzieSiddal · 19/07/2024 17:17

So glad she’s told everyone what she’s setting out to do. It shows these people will stop at absolutely nothing inorder to hurt children. Hopefully Wes Streeting will get to hear about this and quickly come up with a way to stop the lunatic Green.

That despicable woman should be in prison.

heathspeedwell · 19/07/2024 17:26

Exploit is the operative word.

AzureAnt · 19/07/2024 17:26

What the hell is wrong with these people 😐

AlisonDonut · 19/07/2024 17:26

Wasn't Jolyon previously a tax loophole specialist?

So completely in his wheelhouse.

When Susie Green was in Ireland at the WPATH conference she was overheard discussing how to increase her network in Ireland.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 19/07/2024 17:30

Despicable. Hope the UK government does something about this.

MrsTerryPratchett · 19/07/2024 17:31

Wasn't someone prosecuted for importing/exporting prescription drugs (I think from Egypt). At one point rohypnol was legal in some places and not others and you couldn't merrily bring it over borders.

Are they colluding/conspiring?

lonelywater · 19/07/2024 17:40

given how fast the government (particularly one with a massive majority) of the day can move then legislation to shut this down could be done almost overnight. Lets see if Streeting steps up, or not.

That's not answering the question, Anne.

It's great that she is so arrogant in her belief that she's right that she happily tell the world her plans

She is a fucking ghoul

The General Pharmaceutical Council (GPhC), which is the regulator for pharmacists in Great Britain, published this when Helen Webberley moved her operation overseas.

Northern Ireland have their own regulator, which recently published this advice to pharmacists.

https://www.psni.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Gender-identity-services-Information-Final.pdf

I don't really understand how she expects this to work. If the medicines are prescribed outside the UK and the prescriptions (for someone in England, Scotland or Wales) sent to Northern Ireland, is she expecting pharmacists in NI to dispense prescriptions for patients elsewhere in the UK (where this is banned)? Or are the medicines themselves being sent from the EU? The article isn't clear about whether it's the medication or the prescriptions which are being sent to NI.

I read it that her people will write prescriptions and send them to NI where the local families will receive them to their addresses.

TitusMoan · 19/07/2024 18:09

Son still looks like a son

Ereshkigalangcleg · 19/07/2024 18:09

By which I mean they will sent the drugs.

So the drugs will be sent from the EU to NI?

This sounds a bit like something Helen Webberley was involved in before GenderGP, where drugs were being sent from the UK to US so that Americans could take advantage of the lower price of drugs in the UK.
