Newspaper story on circumcision

[jimpollard]

Hello everyone, we have had this request from Ethan Ennals, a journalist at the Mail On Sunday:

I'm working on a story for this weekend looking at whether there are too many medical circumcisions done on the NHS every year. Some doctors say that, too often, alternative treatments are not explored before surgery is carried out.

I'm keen to speak to a few men who've had medical circumcisions, and who could share their experiences of how it has affected their lives. I know some men are very positive about the impact the procedure has had. Others, feel it has negatively affected them. I'd like to hear from both groups if possible.

It could be an anonymous discussion, or not, depending on what they are comfortable with. The only conditions are they must be British and have had the procedure done on the NHS. I'd also need to speak before end of tomorrow.

My email is [e-mail], and I'm happy to answer any questions about the story. Hope to hear from some people today. Many thanks.

Ah. Shame it's the MoS, I'd have been happy to do it otherwise. They're bound to have a really anti-NHS angle on it
