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.

Andy Burnham has reacted to Keir Starmer’s resignation, and confirmed that he will try to replace him as Labour leader and prime minister.
“His decision marks the beginning of a transition and it is important that this process is conducted in an orderly and responsible way. I will put myself forward as part of this process”, Burnham said on social media.
While Starmer had been vowing to fight any leadership challenge, the tone shifted after Andy Burnham beat Reform UK in the Makerfield by-election on Thursday, and he announced his resignation on Monday morning.
Former Health Secretary Wes Streeting has said he will back Burnham’s bid.

As the two sides sign the ‘Memorandum of Understanding’, we compare what the document says to the initial war objectives set by the United States.
Donald Trump has claimed the US won the war on multiple occasions – but do the facts back that up? This is The Security Brief with Christian Fraser and Mikey Kay.

Direct talks between the US and Iran are set to begin in Switzerland despite the Iranian military saying it has closed the Strait of Hormuz again over Israel’s attacks on southern Lebanon.
Iran also cited a breach of its agreement with the US to end the war as a reason for the closure.
However, the US military has said “traffic continues to flow” in the strait.

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.
