Virginity testing/hymen inspections
Dear NHS trusts,
I would like to request the following information under the Freedom Information Act 2000:
I am investigating requests for the inspection of a person's hymen for the purpose of verifying whether they have had sexual intercourse.
1. How many people have received a hymen inspection for this purpose since 2015?
2. How many people have requested to have a hymen inspection for this purpose since 2015?
Please provide the information electronically in a spreadsheet format.
Yours faithfully,
Claire Hubble

Dear Ms Hubble
This Trust does not accept referrals for this reason, so the figures are
nil for each question.
