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.

We ask the BBC’s diplomatic correspondent Paul Adams about the strategy behind President Donald Trump’s Project Freedom – a plan for US forces to guide stranded ships through the Strait of Hormuz.
On Tuesday, the US Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth said the US had established “a powerful red, white and blue dome” of defence over the Strait as a “gift to the world”, and that two American commercial ships had already made the crossing.
There is growing concern that the operation could jeopardise the fragile ceasefire between Washington and Tehran. US Central Command has said that since the start of Project Freedom, the Iranian military has fired at American naval and commercial ships. Iran has also resumed firing missiles at the United Arab Emirates, and is suspected of targeting a South Korean cargo vessel anchored in the Strait of Hormuz.
Washington’s top general, Dan Caine, has said that the latest Iranian attacks have fallen below the threshold of restarting major combat operations, but that American forces were ready to resume such operations.
