Maybe they'll be some accountability.

The NHS has opened an investigation into a GP practice that prescribed gender drugs to teenagers after “indications that patient harm may have occurred”.

A report by the two authorities said the possible “harm” being investigated related to the age of the patients prescribed the cross-sex hormones testosterone and oestrogen, which begin the physical process of changing gender, and puberty-suppressing medication.

The inquiry follows a long-running controversy involving the WellBN GP practice over claims that it had been prescribing feminising and masculinising hormones to 16-year-olds without parental consent.

Many of the allegations made by the parents of young patients involved Sam Hall, a transgender GP practising at the surgery, who was announced to have resigned from his position at the beginning of July. It was previously alleged that Hall was willing to prescribe hormones such as testosterone or oestrogen to young people who wished to change gender from the age of 16 after appointments lasting only 40 minutes.

About time dr hall and everyone who enabled her abuse of these vulnerable children should be in jail.
All gps should be barred from prescribing Cross sex hormones to any patient, adults aswell as children as its outwith their area of competence imho

GPs don't need to be 'banned' from prescribing x-sex hormones - they simply need to be given clear and public permission not to. I think GP collusion in this unevidenced (and unfunded) sector of 'medicine' would fall off a cliff if the GMC removed their very strong steer that GPs need to refer and prescribe if advised by a GDC and if they don't feel competent, it is up to them to get some training to improve their competence.

Once the GMC (and by extension the RCGP) temper their advice, it would become extremely clear who the rogue GPs are.

Isn't this a bit like the catholic church opening an investigation looking into it's priests?
