Medical doctors at the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust mentioned a trial of the treatment on “gender dysphoria” sufferers aged 12 to 14 had been productive and it could now be provided even earlier.
Dr Polly Carmichael, who led the trial, said long term treatment would be presented based on “stage not age”, that means it could be offered to younger children than those who took component in the trial.
“We’re speaking about stopping puberty in the normal selection of puberty, so I guess the younger age might be nine or ten,” she said.
Only children who meet specified criteria, such as getting permission from their mother and father and no mental wellness problems, will be eligible, she additional.
Mark Pritchard, the Conservative MP, referred to as for an investigation into the trust’s selection to offer the treatment method at such a young age, particularly at a time when budgets for existence-conserving cancer medicines are being squeezed.
His colleague Andrew Percy additional: “I consider several folks will be horrified at the thought of a nine-12 months-old getting presented with a drug that efficiently stops them developing and maturing naturally.”
