534. To ask the Minister for Health if he is aware of a recent study (details supplied) that has found strong evidence of a link between autism and gender dysphoria and gender/body incongruence; whether his Department or the HSE has conducted any research into a link between these conditions; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

535. To ask the Minister for Health if he is aware of the policy change implemented in Denmark this summer whereby teenagers who present with gender dysphoria for the first time will be offered counselling rather than be prescribed medication such as ‘puberty blockers’; whether this development will inform the policy of his Department or the HSE on this issue; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
