Abstract

Female genital mutilation (FGM) is increasingly found in the UK among migrant women and girls. This paper reports on a national survey which assessed current service provision for women who have undergone FGM. The authors conclude that, despite acknowledgment of the health consequences of FGM from professionals, disparate services continue, with seemingly little co-ordination at local or national levels.
