Show Notes

The NHS is set to overhaul how it supports young people with gender dysphoria, with new proposals to screen for autism, ADHD, and other neurodevelopmental conditions.


Leaked plans suggest a move away from a purely medical model towards a more holistic approach to care. The London Standard’s Daniel Keane explains what’s behind the changes, how they link to the Cass Review, and the reaction from campaign groups.


Plus, we hear from The London Standard’s Anthony France about the Critical Mass London protest that brought traffic at the Silvertown Tunnel to a standstill.
