Circumcision since 1950In 1949, a lack of consensus in the medical community as to whether circumcision carried with it any notable health benefit motivated the United Kingdom's newly-formed National Health Service to remove routine infant circumcision from its list of covered services. One factor in this rejection of circumcision may have been Douglas Gardiner's famous paper, 'The fate of the foreskin' which revealed that for the years 1942 -1947, about 16 children per year had died because of circumcision in England and Wales.[7] (http://www.cirp.org/library/general/gairdner/) Since then, circumcision has been an out-of-pocket cost to parents, and the proportion of newborns circumcised in England and Wales has fallen to less than one percent.
In Canada, individual provincial health services began delisting circumcision in the 1980s. At present, only Manitoba pays for the procedure. The infant circumcision rate in Canada has fallen from roughly half in the 1970s to its present value of 13%, albeit with strong regional variations.[8] (http://www.courtchallenge.com/refs/yr99p-e.html)
In South Korea, circumcision was largely unknown before the establishment of the United States trusteeship in 1945 and the spread of American influence. More than 90% of South Korean high school boys are now circumcised, but the average age of circumcision is 12 years [9] (http://www.cirp.org/library/cultural/pang1/).
In South Africa circumcision has roots in several belief systems and is performed much of the time to teen aged males : ".The young men in the eastern Cape belong to the Xhosa ethnic group for whom circumcision is considered part of the passage into manhood. A law was recently introduced requiring initiation schools to be licensed and only allowing circumcisions to be performed on youths aged 18 and older. But Eastern Cape provincial Health Department spokesman Sizwe Kupelo told Reuters news agency that boys as young as 11 had died. Each year thousands of young men go into the bush alone, without water, to attend initiation schools. Many do not survive the ordeal." [10] (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3069491.stm).
In the United States, it is unclear whether circumcision rates are rising or falling. A recent study found that circumcision rates had significantly increased since 1988.[11] (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=15711354) However, statistics collected by the National Center for Health Statistics show that the overall rate of neonatal circumcision has gone down recently, and has fallen from 64% in 1979 to 60% in 2002.[12] (http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/series/sr_13/sr13_158.pdf) Strong regional differences in the circumcision rates have developed during this time. While almost 80% of newborn boys are circumcised in the Midwest and South, circumcision rates have declined to only 31.4% in 2003 in the West [13] (http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/pubs/pubd/hestats/circumcisions/circumcisions_region.htm). This has been attributed in part to increasing births among Latin Americans, who usually do not circumcise [14] (http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/products/pubs/pubd/hestats/circumcisions/circumcisions.htm). Thirteen states no longer pay for the procedure under Medicaid; 36 states still do, and one state, Idaho, has agreed to end the subsidy from 1 July 2005 [15] (http://www3.state.id.us/oasis/H0385.html).
The major medical societies in Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand do not support routine non-therapeutic infant circumcision. Major medical organizations in the United States state that parents should decide what is in their child's best interests, declining to make a recommendation one way or another. Neonatal circumcision nonetheless still remains the most common pediatric operation carried out in the U.S. today.

United Kingdom 1972 0.41% [20]
*Samoans, Tongans and Niueans in New Zealand continue to practice circumcision, but not in public hospitals, to which these data refer.
