Evidence base on the safety and effectiveness of puberty blockers

Non-inquiry session

In December 2024, the Government announced it was making the ban on the sale and supply of puberty-suppressing hormones to under-18s, except for purposes other than gender incongruence and/or gender dysphoria, indefinite. It also announced it was setting up a clinical trial into the use of puberty blockers to establish a clear evidence base for their use. The Women and Equalities Committee will examine the medical evidence for an indefinite ban and how a research trial on puberty blockers should be set up in order for it to be safe and produce robust results.
