THE NEWS

The National Health Service of England announced on Friday that it would limit
the use of puberty-suppressing drugs to children enrolled in clinical trials.
The change comes as the agency’s pediatric gender services have struggled to
keep up with soaring demand.

A document explaining the agency’s reasoning stated that “there is not enough
evidence to support their safety or clinical effectiveness as a routinely
available treatment.”


A correction was made on 
June 12, 2023
: 

A previous version of this article misstated the agency that issued the new
policy. It was N.H.S. England, not the entire N.H.S.
