Good luck with cracking down on hormones. They're some of the most widely prescribed medications. "Cracking down" will only push people further into more illicit sources. Just look at how the war on drugs has worked.
Cass told the New Statesman that gathering long-term data on hormones was “absolutely just as important, if not more important than, the puberty blocker component” of the research proposals contained in her review. Perhaps the knowledge of widespread self-medicating among young people will provide the impetus to put in place the necessary infrastructure to do just that. A spokesperson for the Department of Health and Social Care said: “The safety of children and young people is our top priority. We do not condone self-medication with cross sex hormones. These are licensed, prescription-only medicines and should only be used by people who are eligible and under medical supervision.” Medical regulators will “crack down on any rogue prescribers, products and online services putting people in danger,” they added.
