A former nurse has lost a High Court legal challenge over the health watchdog’s decision to register England’s first private clinic offering gender treatment to young people.

Susan Evans and a mother known as XX took legal action against the Care Quality Commission (CQC) over its decision to register the Gender Plus Hormone Clinic (GPHC) in Birmingham in January last year.
