NHS England to stop referring people to 'gay cure' therapy

Story here

From the article:

Staff of the NHS in England have been instructed not to facilitate access to gay “cure” therapy.

Despite the NHS not offering gay conversion therapy directly, some patients seeking to change their sexuality have been connected to organisations which do provide it by NHS staff.
