Summary
Over 80 clinicians, researchers and academics have signed an open letter expressing "serious concerns" about NHS England's evidence reviews of gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT) for transgender young people. The letter criticizes NHS England's revised prescribing policy, which was launched for public consultation in March, and raises concerns about the evidence reviews underpinning the policy change that would restrict access to hormone therapy for trans youth under 18.
