Ireland to set up new system to deal with 'gender dysphoria' in children amid concerns over minors' safety.
Ireland is creating a new system to deal with "gender dysphoria" in minors, Breitbart reports, .
The Health Service Executive (HSE), Ireland's social health service, is setting up a new system to treat children with so-called gender dysphoria.
This comes after UK authorities announced they were closing down the Trust Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) at the Tavistock & Portman National Health Service (NHS) over fears over the health risks to children, as a report the clinic's often extreme pro-transgender stance repeatedly endangered the health of minor patients.
Given that Ireland previously relied on an outsourced clinic operated by GIDS, the country's authorities have now decided to create a new treatment system.
However, Ireland is not alone in having to review its care models. Due to the ongoing controversy, 15 other countries, including the United Kingdom, are forced to follow suit.
Dr Colm Henry, the HSE's chief clinical officer, could not comment on the case regarding the effectiveness of so-called 'puberty blockers' and hormone treatments for children with gender dysphoria, as 'the HSE has not yet sufficiently established the effectiveness of the treatments'.
This is in stark contrast to the position of the GIDS clinic in Tavistock, which has been accused of preferring to limit its referrals to puberty blockers despite the potential side effects.
