Yes, it wasn't much of a problem for us when we did this. 1st sale broke down (b@@@@@d solicitors) so it took a bit longer, but in the end went fine. Being a chain "terminator" does make things a bit...

Re: Is circumcision an excessive demand in healthcare?

Definitely not.

In any case (in BC, anyway) circumcision for non-medical (i.e. cultural, cosmetic or religious) reasons is not covered under MSP, and therefore carries a fee payable by the parents.
