Wes Streeting’s puberty blocker trial- participants are going to get £500 in vouchers redeemable at Curry’s

As if it could get any worse, the Telegraph has revealed that participants in the ill conceived experiment with puberty blockers will be incentivised with up to £500 in vouchers, redeemable at retailers including Xbox, Uber Eats, and Currys.

"This trial already risks putting healthy children on a medical pathway to lifelong infertility. There is no minimum age, and it has been confirmed that children who are autistic or have learning difficulties will be able to take part," said Shadow Equalities Minister Claire Coutinho.

Perhaps they thought they'd get a wider range of applicants if they didn't just accept those that were desperate, but also included some who weren't that bovvered, but wouldn't mind a new tablet. 😛

Just speculating, but would accepting a “payment” or incentive have any bearing on whether a child irreversibly damaged by the drugs of this trial could later sue?
