Gender Affirming Primary Care Group information request

Gywn Walker made this Official Information request to Health New Zealand

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Gywn Walker to read a recent response and update the status.

From: Gywn Walker

Dear Health New Zealand,

I am writing to request:

1) All meeting minutes of GAPCAG from inception until now;

2) Confirmation whether or not the GAPCAG has studied and considered the findings of NHS England's review of the use of puberty blockers (The Cass Review) and if so, whether the GAPCAG agrees with its conclusions and expects to adopt its recommendations;

3) In reference to the minutes of the Feb 15th 2024 GAPCAG meeting, item 9, Other business:
a) why the group concluded that with respect to the unreleased Puberty Blockers Evidence Review led by the Ministry of Health "the evidence was unlikely to bring up anything unknown regarding the use of puberty blockers."
b) whether the group now considers that conclusion to be premature, given the fact the review was not released at that time and given the growing criticism of the evidence supporting the use of puberty blockers both within New Zealand and internationally.

Regards,

Gywn Walker
