Spoke with a new MP after the pelvic mesh debate who was shocked at the scale of suffering & terrible treatment of women. Equally shocking is after 10yrs campaigning we've seen so much cruelty & outrageous attitudes we've normalised it as a coping strategy overseeing daily trauma

NHS has run away from their responsibilities to fix the #mesh problem Thanks @AlecShelbrooke for highlighting how NHS needs to step up and give mesh injured women proper care

It's not a legal requirement for Doctors to report side effects and complications of medical devices like #mesh, drugs or vaccines to the #MHRA #YellowCard. Which means people are being harmed and nobody knows. Make adverse event reporting mandatory! @EstherMcVey1

[Mesh Rectopexy Support & Action Group @MeshAction]

@MeshCampaign @DaveR_Lichfield I wrote to you about this and am bitterly disappointed not to have had a response @Keir_Starmer @KenZeroHarm @BBCWomansHour @theJeremyVine

[APPRAISE study @APPRAISE_study]

Have you had surgery for pelvic organ prolapse, stress urinary incontinence or mesh complications? Are you a UK adult aged 16+? We are recruiting women to complete a questionnaire about the impact of this surgery upon their quality of life: https://t.co/Lk5UrqLLC7

“We need a public inquiry” said @SharonHodgsonMP to a meeting of #firstdonoharm into Primodos Mesh and Valproate

[Jacqui Shaw @JacquiShaw67]

@MeshCampaign @SharonHodgsonMP 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

This morning's launch in Parliament of my report into redress options for those harmed by pelvic mesh and valproate heard how women were deceived, kept in the dark, and fobbed off and let down by the health system - read the report at https://t.co/o02LyUM9RM

[Norma Roberts @nursenormski]

@mariacaulfield @SusanMorgan19 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

[Sling the Mesh @MeshCampaign]

Thank you so much to our members for bravely telling their stories. Mesh scandal women tell how it's STILL ruining lives and marriages https://t.co/uDcgMTxmeV via @MailOnline

Mesh member: “Im glad our plight is being highlighted but it feels like scraps being thrown our way to make headlines. How many hoops are we going to have to jump through to “qualify” for 2nd payments?” #mesh

[Mesh Rectopexy Support & Action Group @MeshAction]

Thank you @MeshCampaign - we also look forward to some clarity on the inclusion of rectopexy mesh injured women which is pelvic mesh and was included in the first do no harm report @JuliaCumberlege @matthewhillbbc @theJeremyVine @BBCWomansHour @hcwomenleaders

[Sling the Mesh @MeshCampaign]

Thanks to the BBC for covering the Hughes Report calling for financial redress for women injured by pelvic mesh and Sodium Valproate @PSCommissioner we hope a solution can be found for Primodos families too

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

[Peter Stefanovic @PeterStefanovi2]

🚨Recognising the Governments #RwandaBill breaks international law, disaplies human rights & puts all our rights at risk @LibDemLords have tabled a FATAL MOTION to kill off the Bill

It’s backed the Green Party peers & if @LabourLordsUK join them this shameful bill can be stopped
