The Minister of Equality is asked if he can ensure that a National Action Plan against FGM is made in Denmark. He refers to legislation in the area and the many things that can be done if a case of FGM emerges. Furthermore, the minister consults with both the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Health. The latter refers to the national action plan drawn up by the volunteer steering committee and concludes that the National Board of Health perceives FGM as a minor problem in Denmark, and no further action is to be taken in this area.
