Prominent medical bodies are calling on the government to allow the release of updated gender affirming healthcare guidelines after a small section on puberty blockers caused it to be delayed.
The guidelines were due to be released at the end of March but it’s is now unclear when they will be.
The Professional Association for Transgender Health Aotearoa, who was asked by Te Whatu Ora to update the guidelines, believes the delay is “due to unprecedented and inappropriate political interference”.
