Precisely the point I made to the Health Minister: the prescribing environment does need fixed, no question. But not *only* for puberty blockers.

There was nothing in it for me or for Alliance?
I get that you disagree with our decision and understand that: however, it was driven solely by safety concerns raised by the Commission on Human Medicines around the prescribing environment.

Lee, I never said transphobes didn't exist or that anti-trans activism wasn't real. I said the reason for *my* decision re puberty blockers was CoHM concerns regarding the prescribing environment.

I set out these points in the Chamber this week in relation to the approach my department will take to the judgment.
I have no vires in relation to sport/football and no power to strike down decisions by others.
If there's a legal challenge, it will be for a Judge to make that call.
