![Screenshot Levy Review The review of NHS adult gender dysphoria services in England[1], led by Dr David Levy, was announced in August 2024[2], shortly after the publication of the Cass Review. The stated motivation for commissioning the review included concerns about "inadequate, time-limited assessment", weak consent procedures, waiting times, patient demographics, and administrative problems.[3] It is still underway. Though NHS England originally expected to publish the report in spring 2025[4], it has not yet been released as of yet. Internal documents suggest publication may be close. Its likely effects are uncertain, but it may lead to tighter gatekeeping in NHS services, with possible knock-on effects for private clinics, particularly for people under 25.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:3fopv5w5ocsusqytjkfo5kge/bafkreif3o7mlb73mu3ptfh7yvh5sipvsljhvbl43l3ygvu3jdgbes3tcn4)
