Well wouldn't expect the Guardian to raise the obvious question, or even basic reporting ie checking facts. How does the number compare to recent years?
And assuming it is an increase, where are all these trained medical staff can to suddenly appear from?
Our other areas of health going to lose staff so that this service can be prioritiese.
Added to which as one of the criticisms of Tavistock was the lack of medical rigour, who is going to train them all.
It is shocking that a "news" paper would just go for this poor victims without looking at the reality.
Given the strain on an under funded NHS how is this effectively new service, hugely over subscribed, suddenly going to emerged fully staffed (ie properly trained and supervised).
They would ask this of any other area of medical provision, but because it is about gender identity logic and reason go out of the window / news column.
ie this isn't a news report but campaigning.
