This release introduces the Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) Enhanced Dataset, which supersedes the current FGM Prevalence Dataset (ISB 1610).
The enhanced dataset is in two parts:
- Local recording and sharing of FGM information to support the provision of care for a woman or girl.
- The central collection of FGM information across acute trusts, mental health trusts and general practice.
The local recording and sharing of FGM information is mandatory for all organisations from 1 April 2015.
The central collection and submission of FGM information is mandatory for:
- all acute trusts from 1June 2015; however, it is requested that from 1 April 2015 all acute trusts continue to collect FGM information and submit at patient level through a different tool.
- all mental health trusts and GP practices from 1 October 2015.
The collection is to be held on the HSCIC Clinical Audit Platform (CAP). This will go live from 1 April 2015 and organisations can register to use CAP by visiting www.hscic.gov.uk/fgm.
