The Scottish Government has spent more than £3.6million on surgical mesh products that campaigners claim have devastating effects on their health and bodies. Patients want an independent review into the products and procedures but Health Secretary Humza Yousaf has ruled it out.
Paperwork reveals in January last year the Government spent £3,630,250 for a 24-month supply of hernia mesh products for use by NHS Scotland from six medical suppliers. The use of mesh in vaginal surgeries has been banned by the Scottish Government.
