<p>The Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) Prevention Programme funded by the Department
and partnered with NHS England concluded on 31 March 2018 – it was always the intention
that the Programme would conclude at this point.</p><p> </p><p>Governance, monitoring
and planning was built into the FGM Prevention Programme framework since its launch
in 2014, including plans to conclude the Programme and arrangements for the work to
be taken forward after April 2018. Since its launch, the Programme has worked closely
with regional safeguarding teams across England, and these teams will be carrying
on the work to tackle FGM across the National Health Service in England. Discussions,
coordination and multi-agency work between the NHS and various partner agencies will
also continue, now that the Programme has ended.</p>
