  • Health Secretary Wes Streeting announced an indefinite ban on puberty blockers for under-18s with gender dysphoria (Ben Whitley/PA) The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) said legislation was being updated on Wednesday to make that order indefinite, and that the ban will be reviewed in 2027.

Wes Streeting, the Shadow Health Secretary, has sought to reassure transgender youth following the announcement of an indefinite ban on puberty blockers in the UK. The ban, which was initially set to be reviewed after three months, has now been extended indefinitely, causing concern among trans youth and their families. Streeting emphasized that the Labour Party supports trans rights and is committed to ensuring that transgender individuals receive the healthcare they need. He highlighted the importance of evidence-based care and promised to work towards a system where transgender healthcare is compassionate, safe, and based on the best available medical research. This comes amidst ongoing debates about the safety and efficacy of puberty blockers, with critics arguing that more long-term studies are needed to understand their full impact.
