(NB: there was no "serious safeguarding risk", only a random, unverified anecdote that Sullivan later said made her feel "physically sick"🤷

Gender reassignment Can a patient under the age of 18 change their gender marker? No, children and young people under the age of 18 cannot change their gender marker on their medical record. They can change their name or title (see questions related to these options for more information). An independent review has identified a serious safeguarding risk in the current process of re-assigning gender and sex identity in medical records for children and young people. In response, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care has directed that the process for changing gender markers and NHS Numbers in relation to gender amendments for children and young people under 18 is stopped. There is no minimum age at which a child’s gender marker and NHS number can be changed. Parents can change the gender marker and NHS number of their child via their GP. Paediatricians have raised this with the Review as a safeguarding concern. A paediatrician and safeguarding expert provided the following example: ‘There was a paediatrician who brought a case to me for advice as they were having difficulty in Part Three │ Review of data collection on sexData and statistics on sex and gender │ 93 engaging Children’s Social Care with a child who was presenting at primary school with behavioural difficulties. The child had been brought up in the preferred gender of the mother which was different to their birth assigned gender. She had gone to the GP and requested a change of gender /NHS number when the baby was a few weeks old and the GP had complied. Children’s Social Care did not perceive this as a child protection issue.’
