What a shame the money spent on @JuliaCumberlege report has been cast aside. Information overflowing In FDNH The redress much needed should be paid for by industry fines for faulty products and misleading the public. Sunshine act & NHSE funding much needed help next please

Feel free to speak to @HumzaYousaf or any of the Scottish governments health ministers since 2014. They say they were listening, unfortunately not much was done whilst women continued to suffer. Took @AlexNeilSNP , an ex health minister, to announce the moratorium

Women have had lives devastated from Pelvic Mesh which they were told was a gold standard, simple surgery with lno risk. Some are now disabled. The majority live in chronic pain. 7 in 10 lost sex lives. Many have had to give up work and lost careers and pensions @PSCommissioner

@PSCommissioner @uclh @KenZeroHarm @JuliaCumberlege can anyone help the #rectopexy #mesh patients at uclh mesh center. Why are patients being told that there are no Dr's to help, no plans, no info and referral to another mesh center must be by gp starting at the back of the Q.
