A consultant surgeon has said Northern Irelands emergency departments have been in the midst of a "perfect storm" due to ongoing "immense pressure" and flu. Prof Mark Taylor, from the Northern Ireland Confederation for Health and Social Care (NICON), said the lack of flow throughout hospitals was having serious consequences.

The article from the BBC discusses the ongoing debate over the use of puberty blockers for transgender youth in the UK. It highlights the recent decision by NHS England to halt the routine prescription of puberty blockers to children and young people, following a review that found insufficient evidence on their safety and effectiveness.

The article also touches on the broader implications for transgender healthcare policy, the need for more research, and the personal stories of those impacted by the decision, illustrating the complex balance between medical caution and the rights of transgender youth to access care.
