Reform of child gender services ‘under threat’ says former Health Secretary – BBC Newsnight
The announcement last year of the closure of NHS England’s only gender clinic for young people has caused a period of uncertainty for many young people seeking help.
The Gender Identity Development Service – known as gids – at London’s Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust is due to close this year after a report last year highlighted concerns about aspects of its approach to care and its capacity to cope with ever-growing demand.
In its place will be two new centres in London and the north west of England, where treatment is expected to be shaped to reflect issues raised by the review. But Newsnight has learned of concerns after the appointment of some senior members of staff from gids to key roles in training a new cohort of professionals to work in these new services.
Today the former health secretary Sajid Javid said he feared the reform of children’s gender services was now ‘under threat’. Newsnight’s investigations producer Hannah Barnes, who’s been reporting for several years on gender services, has this report.

The Met Office has issued an amber extreme heat warning for parts of southern and eastern England and south Wales.
The warning is valid for Monday and Tuesday and warns of temperatures peaking at 35C (95F).
The nights will also be hot, remaining above 20C in some locations.
It brings the risk of impacts to health, especially for vulnerable people, and the danger of sunburn and heat exhaustion in the wider population.
This is only the sixth amber extreme heat warning that has been issued by the Met Office since they were introduced in 2021 – and the first since August 2022.
Heat has also been building across Europe this week and will continue to intensify over the next few days.

The BookTok community has erupted after creator AllieRoseCo announced she had trademarked merchandise featuring the phrase ‘Hot Girls Read’. User backlash was instantaneous, with many accusing her of attacking small businesses and even betraying her own followers. On this episode, Marianna explains why BookTok is such an influential marketing demographic on TikTok, and what this controversy tells us about the fragility of influencer careers tied exclusively to a personal brand.
Also this week, a viral photo which appears to show Donald Trump meeting with a group of mysterious figures has led to a raft of theories about their identities. One of the most prominent narratives to emerge is that the men are representatives of the mythical kingdom Agartha. Matt dives deep into the lore on Agartha, and its adoption by Nazi occultists. Why has this theory seen such a resurgence among young people on TikTok, and how dangerous is the implicit ideology behind it?
