Hilary Cass’s review of gender identity services in the NHS emphasizes the importance of providing high-quality care for children and young people experiencing gender dysphoria. The evidence base for interventions in gender medicine is found to be lacking, with low methodological rigor in studies on puberty blockers and hormone treatment. Cass recommends confining prescription of these treatments to research settings and calls for a more holistic model of care for gender dysphoria. The review urges for regional multidisciplinary centers to provide standardized care and improve access for young people. The goal is to prioritize evidence-informed care to ensure the well-being of children and adolescents.
