An interesting piece in the Metro by their US News Editor, who’s British. He links to a paper which has the following on the position in the UK:
In the United Kingdom, iMGC [J4MB: Infant Male Genital Cutting] is exceedingly rare, likely less than 1 percent, and those are mostly done at the demand of the parents’ religion of choice. Two reports estimated that 3.1 percent or 3.8 percent of boys will be genitally mutilated by their fifteenth birthday, which should help to substantiate this low estimate. iMGC has not been covered by the National Health Service since WWII.
These percentages are substantially lower than we understand to be the case, although we believe the practice to be on the decline among Britons who are neither Muslim or Jewish. On the other hand, both Jews (especially Haredi Jews) and Muslims tend to have more children than the non-Muslim and non-Jewish population.
According to the 2011 UK Census, about 2.8 million (4.4%) of the British population is Muslim. This is over ten times larger than the Jewish population, almost 270,000 (0.4%).
If everyone who read this gave us just £1 – or even better, £1 monthly – we could change the world. Click here to make a difference. Thanks.
Justice for Men & Boys 
1% is “exceedingly rare”? CSEW data indicates partner violence in the “severe physical” category runs at ~1% per year (for both sexes). So is severe PV “exceedingly rare”? If so, what are all those refuges for?
As for the NHS, this is the position (taken from https://www.circumcision-london.co.uk/nhs-circumcision/)…
Individual Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCG) (who locally decide how to spend NHS money) may choose to fund non-therapeutic circumcision for their local populations. We (the NHS) try keep an up to date list of CCGs and NHS providers that offer circumcision services:-
Note that the last point does not state that other NHS trusts do not offer a paid service.
