Dear Poppy
We write further to your request for information under the Freedom of Information Act dated
24th May 2019. We have set out your request, together with our response below.
My request relates to number of ‘hymen reconstruction surgeries’ offered on the NHS and
the demographics of patients who receive this surgery. Could you please tell me for the last
five years (Jan 14-Jan 19):
+How many surgeries were performed per year.
There were no Hymen Reconstruction Surgeries recorded in the last 5 years.
We do not perform these surgical procedures in the NHS. These are classed as low
priority procedures which are not funded by the Clinical Commissioning Group.
+What the age of the patients were
+What the cost was per year for these procedures.
+The ethnicity and religion of the patients, if information held.
+Any guidance you hold on this procedure within your organisation or notes you feel happy
to share.
Not applicable to all above
As we have provided the information that we do hold your request is now closed. We trust
that this is satisfactory but if you are dissatisfied with the way that it has been handled you
have the right to ask for an internal review. Internal review requests should be submitted
within two months of the date of receipt of the response to your original letter and should be
addressed to:
Geoff Stokes, Director of Corporate Affairs, UHCW, Clifford Bridge Road,
Coventry CV2 2DX.
If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you have the right to apply
directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision. The Information Commissioner can
be contacted at: Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow,
Cheshire, SK9 5AF.
Yours sincerely
