Notes:

1. Newly identified are those patients first identified during the reporting period as having undergone FGM. This will include those diagnosed/identified within the provider within the month.

2. The table shows the total number of care contacts of any type recorded for any patient within the reporting period (number of patients with FGM first identified in reporting period and number of patients with FGM active caseload).

3. * Where values are shown as * (an asterisk), the data has been suppressed for reasons of statistical and information governance.

4. For Preston, data has been supplied for the following trusts:

6. An individual seen by more than one trust will be counted more than once, so there is possibility for duplicate counting.

7. Collection of the FGM Enhanced Dataset (SCCI2026), including individual patient level data, began in April 2015. Data is being collected by acute trusts, mental health trusts and from general practitioner practices. The first publication of this data will be in September 2015.
