Will Welsh Government implement the Cass Review? If not, why not?

Today, 15 April, Vaughan Gething meets with his Cabinet for the first time. We call on him to ensure discussion of the unfolding medical scandal of harmful hormones and lifetime, irreversible harm.

Will Welsh Government accept the recommendations of the Cass Review in full and ensure Wales NHS and Welsh Gender Services participate as equal partners with NHS England in the follow-up review of adult services? If not, why not?

Hundreds of young Welsh people have been referred to the Tavistock Clinic in London over the past decade, yet the Cass report appears to have gone unnoticed by the Welsh Government.  Their silence is astonishing. It seems that they do not even know how many children were involved, and NHS Wales does not know the outcomes of their experimental treatment.

 We hope that the publication of this major report sees the end of this major scandal which has been promoted so enthusiastically by the Welsh Government.
