Flynn calls for Health Minister to meet women injured by mesh

Sinn Féin MLA Orlaithi Flynn has welcomed the Health Minister’s prompt apology following the publication of the Cumberledge Report yesterday and is calling for an urgent meeting to enable the minister to hear for himself the ongoing concerns of women injured by mesh implants.

The West Belfast MLA said:

“The minister has recognised the failure of the healthcare system in relation to vaginal implant surgery and acknowledged the need to listen and understand patients’ voices and their concerns.

“In light of this I am asking for an urgent meeting with the minister so that women injured by mesh can speak to him directly.

“There are a number of ongoing concerns relating to the operation of the Specialist Regional Mesh Clinic, confidence in expertise to undertake complex mesh removals and difficulties in securing full rather than partial removals.

“I have listened to women injured by mesh and their voices are powerful.  

“I am urging the minister to listen and learn from those directly impacted.”

The Defence Forces; the Naval services & Army Ranger Wing deserve every bit of praise they have received since the operation off our coast yesterday.
The successful operation again demonstrates the benefits of and need to invest in naval capacity and wider Defence Force.

Government to hike petrol and diesel TWICE next month! In most counties driving a car is not a luxury, it is essential to get to work or drop kids to school

All Fianna Fáil & Fine Gael are doing is making peoples lives more difficult. It's time for change! – @MattCarthy

.@Padraig_Delargy and @Farrell_Mairead met and listened to the voices of students today at the Queens University Freshers' Fair.

Sinn Féin will continue to have the backs of students, and work to ensure that there is affordable accommodation for students right across Ireland.
