"The Green Party is extremely concerned to learn about the clinical practice of GenderGP in its treatment of patients reporting gender dysphoria, as exposed by the @Telegraph Investigations Team (26 Feb 2021) . . ."

". . . and in an open letter by the General Pharmaceutical Council (@TheGPhC, pharmacyregulation.org/news/our-respo…), which explained their enforcement actions against two of GenderGP’s partner pharmacies in the UK, Clear Chemist and Pharmacyonline.co.uk (10 Feb 2021)."

"Conference believes GenderGP is putting patient safety at risk and compromising informed consent in child patients by providing too easy access to medicines to under-16s, sometimes without parental consent or physical examination; .."

". . . providing puberty blockers to children as young as 10 and hormones to others at 12; and not requiring all patients to speak to a doctor."

"The GPhC intelligence-led inspections identified serious failures in governance and risk management at two of GenderGP’s UK partner pharmacies, and a lack of safeguarding, which posed an unacceptable risk to patient safety." @TheGPhC

"Conference calls upon the Care Quality Commission @CareQualityComm, Healthcare Improvement Scotland @online_his and Healthcare Inspectorate Wales @HIW_Wales to immediately debar GenderGP from operating in the UK on grounds of patient safety and to urgently investigate them."

"Conference calls upon Green Party spokespersons nationally, locally and regionally to faithfully communicate our statement."

This Emergency Motion has been pre-approved by GPEW SOC as in order. EMs have guaranteed slots at Conference Plenary on Saturday and Sunday 2.45-6.00pm.

Why this motion and why now? How long are we going to sit on our hands or turn a blind eye to evidence of clear #safeguardingfailure and risk to #patientsafety or lack of #childinformedconsent or lack of #parentconsent? No! Greens must take a stand and show the way. Emergency.

Don't you just love the lazy red herring ad hominem swipes about Telegraph being a right wing rag. Never mind the truth of the claims. Remember their brilliant expose of MPs expenses scandal, 2009, anyone? Nah, better ignore it, must be disreputable journos.
