Ministers have been urged to give financial compensation to women affected by the mesh scandal as the Patient Safety Commissioner expressing her disappointment over a lack of action to date.
Last year, Dr Henrietta Hughes highlighted that thousands of women’s lives were “destroyed” because of pelvic mesh and said that there was a “clear case for redress” for thousands of women and children affected by vaginal mesh implants and sodium valproate.
She said the Government should create a two-stage financial redress scheme – an interim scheme and a main scheme.
