"In May, the Conservative government tightened rules on the drugs, introducing an emergency ban on them being prescribed by private and European prescribers.
This ban, which has been renewed, will come into effect in Northern Ireland from 27 August.
BBC News NI understands the matter was dealt with by way of urgent procedure, with the order signed off by the first and deputy first ministers without wider Executive approval."

"Transgender youth support charity Mermaids said it is "very disappointed" by the decision to extend the ban to Northern Ireland as it "sets a worrying precedent"." Am I remembering wrong or didn't Mermaids claim in the charity commission case that they had no medical expertise?

It’s being discussed on this thread - unfortunately the title isn’t immediately clear it’s about the NI extension.

Good news and it closes Mermaid's loophole for smuggling the drugs onto the mainland.

Yes.
An when on earth are we going to hear about the findings?
