Sajid Javid is set to launch an inquiry into child gender treatment as he believes the system is 'failing children', it is understood.
Specialist clinics run by the Tavistock & Portman NHS Foundation Trust in London, Leeds and Bristol are the country's only services for children who identify as trans.
"This has been a growing issue for years and it's clear we're not taking this seriously enough,” an ally of Mr Javid said, according to the paper. "That overly affirmative approach where people just accept what a child says, almost automatically, and then start talking about things like puberty blockers — that's not in the interest of the child at all," they said.
Dr Cass also wrote in her review that children were being affected by a "lottery" of care and long waiting lists.
