Children as young as 11 can now be recruited into the NHS-backed puberty blocker trial after the High Court refused an attempt to block the controversial study.The ruling means researchers can begin enrolling youngsters into the PATHWAYS trial after campaigners failed to convince a judge that regulators acted unlawfully in approving the research.Around 226 children are expected to take part in the NHS-funded study, which aims to gather evidence on the effects of puberty blockers in young people experiencing gender distress.The decision follows a two-day High Court hearing in which campaigners sought both permission for a judicial review and an emergency injunction to stop recruitment while the case was heard.
