Note for guidance on circumcision of boys

The Health Agency has sent its out consultation document 'Guidance on circumcision of boys'. The DSAM's Board of Directors has discussed the consultation draft and agree that circumcision may only be performed when there is medical indication for it. If circumcision is performed without a medical indication, it is mutilation.

Consultation deadline is January 21, 2014.
