Patrick Harvie gives view on gender services review

Patrick Harvie has said he has difficulty seeing the Cass review on gender services as a valid scientific document.

NHS Scotland paused the prescription of puberty blockers to children referred by its specialist gender clinic, the Sandyford in Glasgow, after the publication of he Cass review on gender services for under-18s in England.

When asked on The Sunday Show on 21 April if he accepted that the Cass report was a valid scientific document, Mr Harvie said: "I've seen far too many criticisms of it to be able to say that.

"The decision that was made last week was not a government decision. It was made by individual clinicians."
