An emergency ban on puberty blockers introduced by the Conservative government was lawful, the High Court has ruled.
Campaign group TransActual, and a young person who cannot be named, had challenged then health secretary Victoria Atkins's decision to impose 'banning orders' on puberty blockers, which delay puberty by suppressing the natural production of sex hormones. On Monday, Mrs Justice Lang dismissed the challenges, which had argued the ban on private prescriptions of the drugs to treat under 18s was unlawful.
' The emergency ban, effective between 3 June and 3 September, was implemented by the previous Conservative government as its final act on 30 May to 'address risks to patient safety'. They imposed the ban on the basis of the independent Cass Review into gender identity services for children and young people, which found there is 'no good evidence on the long-term outcomes of interventions to manage gender-related distress'.
