Details of the Response
Thank you for your request to Ashford and St. Peter’s Hospitals NHS Trust regarding circumcision morbidity and mortality.
The Trust Consultant Urologist has responded as follows:-
- We do not routinely collect any information in our Trust in relation to Community based circumcisions - it is not a part of our service.
- We have seen approximately 2 complications in the past 5-6 years in children operated by 'outside' doctors. These children (if I remember correctly) came to the Accident & Emergency. This was some time ago and I personally do not have any data as we do not keep any formal records of such cases.
If you could contact the FOI team for the PCT they may be able to assist you further. Their e-mail address is
