BMA calls for suspension of the CASS review

The BMA posted a statement on there website calling for a suspension of the Cass review while they do a full review on how it was done.

 The most important paragraph is as follows: -

“The BMA is calling for a pause to the implementation of the Cass Review’s recommendations whilst the task and finish group carries out its work. It is expected to be completed towards the end of this year. In the meantime, the BMA believes transgender and gender-diverse patients should continue to receive specialist healthcare, regardless of their age.”

I really hope that the Labour government, and especially Wes Streeting, does follow what the BMA recommends. The British Medical Association (BMA) is the trade union and professional body for doctors in the UK, so it has the backing of the medical professionals of the UK.
