The National Health Service has been driven by activist ideology rather than sound medical evidence in the way it has been treating young people experiencing gender confusion, a landmark independent review has found.

The Cass Review, as it is known, has been four years in the making and was commissioned following a troubling surge in the number of young people seeking transgender treatments.
Whistle-blowers had raised concerns about care at the Gender Identity and Development Service (GIDS) – which was the only specialist gender clinic for children and young people in England and Wales.
Will the Cass Review really change anything?
The Cass Review into the gender treatment of young people – which has found that the NHS has been in the grip of transgender activists – is a step in the right direction.
