Petition

The good news is that the UK government has extended the ban on puberty blockers for under-18s indefinitely, acknowledging the "unacceptable safety risks" highlighted by independent experts.

Existing patients will continue to receive them but no new under 18 patients can be prescribed these drugs.

While this is a crucial step forward, clinical trials on under 18s using these dangerous drugs are still planned for January

Please consider signing this petition to the government to stop these trials:
