Gender clinic’s record deficiencies lead to calls for increased surveillance

Academic psychiatrist Dr Andrew Amos agrees with calls for greater scrutiny of gender clinics in Australia. Gender clinics in Australia are maintaining the use of radical hormone treatments during gender treatments, despite a landmark review in the UK leading the country to ban them for use under the age of 18. Freedom of Information applications showed authorities in Australia are not tracking what child is getting what drug, as well as having minimal information of birth sexes. “Data is absolutely the lifeblood of that type of system,” Mr Amos told Sky News Australia host Peta Credlin. “That’s generally implemented at state level. “One of the problems of this situation with gender medicine is the lack of information which we’ve been provided makes it very difficult for outsiders to understand who exactly is responsible for reporting in this area. “Ultimately somebody in New South Wales Health has to be responsible for what is going on at Maple Leaf House.”
