Request Summary: FGM
Request Category: Media
| Question Number 1: How many patients have come into your care with Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) that was noticed and/or attended to, between January 2014-February 2024 calendar years? NOTE: Please specify if the data is relating to a physical or mental health concern and please make sure to list the physical and mental health concerns separately For each of these 3 questions and the sub-sections, could you provide the data in calendar year and could you split the data by month and year (e.g. January 2014, February 2014). Please provide all of this data in a machine readable format, ideally CSV and provide answers to each question in a separate tab (in this case 3 tabs). To stress, my questions require answers covering all ages. | |
| Answer To Question 1: Please see our response to Q1 and Q3 in the Excel spreadsheet attached. To accompany this answer to question 1 please also see the documents listed below:  FOI 7745 - Q1 & Q3.xlsx | |
| Question Number 2: Between January 2014 to February 2024: how much has the trust spent (or how much has it cost) for the following things relating to FGM, where relevant: 2a) corrective FGM (whatever actions need to be taken to correct or improve the damage caused by FGM) 2b) surgery 2c) procedures (non-surgical) 2d) appointments for mental health – counselling, therapy, group therapy etc. This includes mental health trusts dealing with any form of secondary treatment for FGM as I appreciate acute trusts would look after primary physical care. NOTE: Please specify if the data is relating to a physical or mental health concern and please make sure to list the physical and mental health concerns separately. | |
| Answer To Question 2: Although there have been a small number of patients treated with an FGM diagnosis over the period, none have been treated for this specific condition. Our records since 2019 show the attached activity and cost (mainly maternity) associated with patients with an FGM diagnosis. To accompany this answer to question 2 please also see the documents listed below: FOI 7745 FGM Q2 response.xlsx | |
| Question Number 3: How many FGM-related deaths has your trust seen between January 2014- February 2024? Please specify how if FGM was a primary or secondary cause of death. | |
| Answer To Question 3: 0 | |
