Pleased to report my motion "Prohibit Private Clinics from Exploiting NHS Moratoria on the Prescription of Puberty Blockers" has surpassed signature threshold. Hope to see it tabled at #gpconf. What should our position be on #Tavistock & private clinics?

Motion Synopsis seeks: "For the safety and well-being of children and young people under 18 diagnosed with gender dysphoria, the Green Party would prohibit private clinics from exploiting NHS moratoria on the prescription of puberty blockers...
..., measures justified following the GIDS judicial review of Dec 2020, and would stop their [private clinics] associated fundraising campaigns launched since Jan 2021."
Main consequences of motion would be: Provide extra mental health & well-being support for children, young people & their families impacted by withdrawal of GIDS treatment options following ruling into harms associated with PB & irreconcilability of informed consent that age.
Prohibit private clinics from advertising or administering PB as a treatment for children diagnosed with gender dysphoria, when NHS has already refused or recommended against such treatment. [You can read full motion & basis for it incl ref to our current policies link above.]
