'Workforce crisis' behind councils' agency spending

_{//politics-government.news-articles.net/content/ .. orce-crisis-behind-councils-agency-spending.html}
^{Published in Politics and Government on Sunday, February 9th 2025 at 2:40 GMT by BBC}

Some local authorities said much of this spending is on social care staff. The Local Government Information Unit said there was an "intense workforce crisis" in local government and councils have become "very dependent" on agency staff. The two biggest authorities in the region both paid out about
30m last year.

The article from the BBC discusses the ongoing debate over the use of puberty blockers for transgender youth in the UK. Puberty blockers, which delay the physical changes of puberty, have been a topic of contention due to concerns about their long-term effects on bone density, brain development, and fertility. The NHS has decided to restrict the routine prescription of these drugs to children, following a review that highlighted uncertainties about their safety and efficacy. This decision has sparked a divide among medical professionals, with some arguing that blockers provide crucial time for young people to explore their gender identity without the pressure of unwanted physical changes, while others, including the review's author, Dr. Hilary Cass, emphasize the need for more research due to potential risks. The article also touches on the emotional and psychological impact on transgender youth and their families, as well as the broader implications for transgender healthcare policy and the rights of transgender individuals to access treatments that affirm their gender identity.
