Cass Review must be considered in conversion therapy ban, says FM
Retired consultant paediatrician Dr Hilary Cass speaking about the publication of the Independent Review of Gender Identity Services for Children and Young People (The Cass Review) at the PA Media offices in west London, April 9, 202
