We petition the Care Quality Commission to have the Manchester Circumcision Clinic re-opened.
Final supporters
Having our male children circumcised is a fundamental requirement in Islam and Judaism. The Manchester Circumcision clinic, run from Thornely House Medical centre, Hyde, Cheshire has been providing us with a very good service to fulfil our religious obligations. The clinic, located in the heart of the community, provides a valuable service for the community in a safe, clean and trusted environment. The clinic is reputed, by parents who have used the clinic, as one of the best.
The trust between the community and the staff at the clinic has been built on the quality of care provided before, during and after each procedure. As a parent, we are happy with the care delivered and felt our children were safe.
The decision to close the clinic is regressive and will undoubtedly compromise the safety of our children. The local community will now be forced to look for other clinics and practitioners who we have no knowledge off or any trust in. This will expose our children to far greater risk as there is a now a possibility that the premises may be unsuitable and the practitioners unqualified. It will also leave us without the access to aftercare.
The decision to close the established and trusted local clinic is not serving the best interest of our children. It is utterly bizarre that Care Quality Commission in trying to safeguard children are actually putting them at greater risk.
I demand that the Care Quality Commission respects my right to take my child to where I feel he is safe and re-open our clinic.

Dr Ahmed is a credible Dr with 10 years of valuable experience. By closing this down we would be losing a valuable asset in the community as this is a religious requirement for us as Muslims which Dr Ahmed most pertinently fulfils
Dr Ahmed circumcised my son and I was glad to find a legitimate clinic with excellent service and professionalism. If clinics like this are shut down we then will have to resort to unsafe and unprofessional private services in people's homes in order to fulfil our religious obligations.
We had our baby boy circumcised by Dr Ahmed at this clinic. The staff were friendly and very professionally. This clinic is crucial to the local muslim community, providing an excellent service and superb aftercare. This facility cannot and should not be closed.
I have used this clinic for the circumcision of my son and nephew. It is an excellent clinic. I am from Manchester and traveled nearly 10 miles to get to this place. If it is closed then I will struggle for the service.
This is a invaluable service for the Muslim community in hyde and surrounding areas It is done in the doctors private time at no cost to taxpayers therefore should remain open for those who need it
Why on earth are they closing this clinic?
I think they are doing a fantastic job at the clinic in serving the community and the clinic should stay open.

I can't understand the logic behind this. Do these people want us to go back to using non-medically qualified 'azoms' who come round homes with their makeshift surgeries, along with the real risk of serious infections?! Get it up and running again!
