Replacement clinics for the NHS's controversial gender identity unit are 'nowhere near ready' to begin treating patients, it was claimed yesterday.
Hubs in London's Great Ormond Street and Liverpool's Alder Hey are due to carry out appointments this week, following the closure of the Gender Identity Development Service (Gids) at the Tavistock and Portman Trust.
But whistleblowers – said to be senior staff at Gids – claimed the hubs' opening has been shambolic.
A source told the i newspaper: 'It's been shoddy, disorganised...At times, it's felt unsafe.'
