- NEW: The British Medical Association (BMA) has reversed its decision to call for a pause in implementing the recommendations of the Cass Review. It follows criticism by more than 1,500 senior drs and BMA members. READ:
- Quite extraordinary listening to Michelle Mone: “all we did was lie to the press.” Yes, and threaten journalists who worked to expose the truth with legal letters, knowing those letters were lies. Thankfully, those journalists didn’t cower under those threats. #bbclaurak
- I am shocked, and utterly over the moon, to win four #MJAAwards this evening, including the Outstanding Contribution to Health Journalism. It’s a complete honour. Thank you to the judges and all those who have helped and supported me with these stories.
- EXCEPTIONALLY IMPORTANT: Good Law Project’s claim of ‘surge’ of suicides of gender questioning children roundly rejected by Government suicide adviser, Prof Louis Appleby. “The way that this issue has been discussed on social media has been insensitive, distressing and dangerous”
- NEW: NHS England has confirmed puberty blockers for young people with gender incongruence will only be administered as part of clinical research. It comes as NHSE publishes the service specification that will guide the new gender services that will replace the Tavistock’s GIDS
- My thoughts are with my former @BBCNewsnight colleagues today, as they’re told that the programme as we know and love it is to be no more. It’s a terrible day for UK investigative and original journalism. (1/2)
- Hi @Waterstones, just wondered if you knew when Time to Think will start arriving in your stores? It’s just you’ve had hundreds & hundreds of copies in your warehouse for weeks, but people can’t currently buy one in Wales, all of Surrey, or most of the UK’s major cities🧵
- My huge thanks to @HadleyFreeman and the entire team at @thetimes for their support for ‘Time to Think: The Inside Story of the Collapse of the Tavistock’s Gender Service for Children’ It’s not everyday your book makes cover of both the paper and Magazine, and the Leader column
- NEW: A damning letter from Dr Hilary Cass to NHS England bosses, detailing serious concerns about adult gender clinics has been published. NHSE haven't drawn attention to it, instead releasing an update on implementation of Cass’s recommendations for children’s gender services.🧵
- BREAKING: The BMA press office have released a statement accusing the New Statesman article as being misleading. Needless to say I absolutely reject this and will show why. The statement does not say how Council members voted on the motion to ‘disavow’ the Cass Review 🧵
- NEW: The governing body of the doctors’ union - the BMA - will vote tomorrow on a motion to ‘disavow’ the Cass Review into the care provided to gender-questioning children and young people. Exclusive by me for the @NewStatesman
- Replying to @hannahsbeeIt's a real shame that instead of being transparent about the outcome of an important vote on an issue concerning children's health and wellbeing - and of public interest - that the BMA have chosen to criticise a journalist for notifying people of what was going on!
- NEW: Nearly 900 doctors express "dismay" at BMA's decision to challenge puberty blockers ban and criticise Cass Review in letter signed by 57 professors & 22 former or current presidents of Royal Colleges. Several exclusively speak to @NewStatesman
