Covid inquiry turns to PPE deals and the 'VIP lane'

^{Published on 2025-03-02 22:00:45 - BBC}

The government ordered more than 30m masks, gowns and other items of PPE during Covid, with contracts totalling
14.6bn. This part of the inquiry will also look at the purchase of ventilators to help patients breathe, as well as millions of lateral flow and PCR tests.

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. This decision has sparked a range of reactions; some see it as a protective measure, while others, including transgender advocates and some medical professionals, view it as a setback for transgender healthcare. The article also touches on the broader implications of this policy change, including the potential impact on mental health support for transgender youth, the ongoing Cass Review into gender identity services, and the political and social debates surrounding transgender issues. It notes that while private prescriptions are still available, the move by NHS England reflects a cautious approach to treatments that are still under-researched.
