Action: Submission to evidence brief and position statement into the use of puberty blockers

At the end of November, Manatū Hauora the Ministry of Health released their long-awaited evidence brief and position statement into the use of puberty blockers for trans children. Along with this, the Government has asked them to open up public consultation on whether additional restrictions need to be put in place for trans children accessing puberty blockers. Which is odd. It’s highly unusual and totally inappropriate to open up public consultation for a medical matter that – by the Ministry’s own press release – affects a little over 100 children per year.

InsideOUT have put together a very useful guide to putting a submission to this consultation

Submissions close on 20 January 2025.
