## Key points

- Parents’ group is weighing legal action against the CQC.
- A review found safety monitoring shortcomings across nine adult clinics.
- The CQC confirmed one inspection but gave no details on the other eight.

## Summary

Bayswater Support Group is preparing a possible legal challenge against England’s Care Quality Commission (CQC), alleging the watchdog failed to act on safety concerns about adult gender clinics. The dispute centres on who is responsible for responding to findings that clinics lacked adequate patient safety monitoring.

Dr David Levy’s review, published in December 2025, examined nine adult gender services and called for immediate improvements at every service. The CQC said the review informed a routine inspection of one clinic and will guide future assessments, but did not say whether it inspected the other eight. NHS England said a CQC representative attended eight clinic visits in an advisory role; the group’s lawyers are considering their next steps.
