A long-awaited review into how the NHS should care for children and adolescents with gender dysphoria will be published on Wednesday.

The findings of the review by the leading consultant paediatrician Hilary Cass will shape NHS England’s new services for children and young people who are questioning their gender identity or experiencing gender incongruence.
