The NHS has ordered a GP practice to stop prescribing cross-sex hormones to children who want to change gender.
WellBN GP surgeries in Brighton have flouted the Cass review’s recommendations by prescribing the drugs to children, as first revealed by The Telegraph.
The practice, which runs three surgeries, has been the subject of a legal challenge by the <a class="break-all" href="https://archive.is/o/cV2Ud/www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/02/08/gp-clinic-defying-cass-review-hormones-teens/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">parents of Child O, an anonymous 16-year-old boy who claimed he was prescribed cross-sex hormones without having been properly assessed by a gender-identity clinic and without his parents’ knowledge.
WellBN said the NHS “has forced us to temporarily pause initiating new NHS prescriptions for gender-affirming care to anyone under the age of 18”, including a ban on taking on prescriptions from private sector providers.
