       @PohlMe https://archive.ph/o7VH4 Transgender children will be banned from getting a new NHS record following an intervention by Wes Streeting. The health service has been ordered to stop issuing new NHS numbers to under-18s who want to change their gender, following a damning independent review. Until now, children of any age have been allowed to request a gender change on their medical record at any time.This involves the issuing of a new NHS number and medical record to change the gender marker. The review, conducted by Alice Sullivan at the Social Research Institute at University College London, highlighted serious concerns about this practice because it means data on biological sex can be lost, creating safeguarding and clinical care risks. Mr Streeting, the Health Secretary, declared that “children’s safety must come first” as he confirmed the changes on Thursday. He said: “It’s completely wrong that children’s NHS numbers can be changed if they change gender, and I’ve made it clear this must not happen.
