Descripción:

The UK's indefinite ban on giving puberty blockers to under-18s questioning their gender identity will be followed in Scotland, the government at Holyrood has said.

UK Health Secretary Wes Streeting told MPs he was extending the temporary ban introduced in May following a consultation and advice from the Commission on Human Medicines.

Streeting called the way the drugs had been used a "scandal".

The Scottish government confirmed that since medicines policy was reserved to Westminster, the ban would apply across England, Scotland and Wales.
