The Director-General of Health says she expects puberty blocker prescriptions to continue to fall.

The Ministry of Health has released an evidence brief showing a lack of quality evidence backing their effectiveness and safety for gender dysphoria.

Dr Diana Sarfati says use was already declining.

"The peak prescription for puberty blockers was around 2021- and in the last couple of years, we're already starting to see a drop-off."
