Thanks @mariacaulfield for meeting with #mesh campaigners today to discuss how to improve specialist mesh centres & tackling financial redress to improve the lives of women whose health has been irreversibly harmed @EmmaHardyMP
@ShaunLintern@MHRAgovuk So @Jeremy_Hunt is watering down the Patient Safety regulations? @MHRA has been too lax for years + mesh patients are just one casualty of unsafe medical device regulations. How many more people will suffer in the future because of this proposal? @PSCommissioner@JuliaCumberlege
In 2018 @Jeremy_Hunt called for a review into #mesh which found the #MHRA fell asleep at the wheel with flimsy regulations
In 2023 he U-turns & calls for faster rapid access approval of meds & devices at the risk of #patientsafety#Brexit

Funny how he pushed the Cumberlege #firstdonoharm message that the MHRA is not fit for purpose for years…. Until this - claiming theyre respect global regulators
Hmmm indeed
The MHRA is the reason we had the mesh, primodos and valproate scandals
A lovely surprise on #IWD2023 to be named among Women of the Year in the #Grace awards for patient advocacy work raising the voices of the #mesh injured community @MeshCampaign https://t.co/CyDRWqy48t
Tell me this #IWD2023#WomensDay2023 is not a fitting occasion for the Govt @mariacaulfield@SteveBarclay to offer financial redress comfort to women whose lives have been irreversibly harmed by pelvic #mesh surgery where they weren’t warned of the appalling risks @EmmaHardyMP #
Sunak to push UK as Science Superpower making it crucial that Govt enact a Sunshine Payment Act to see which pharma & device makers are paying Drs, researchers, teaching hosps & charities. TRANSPARENCY key for patient safety
@EmmaHardyMP @McGrathDominic https://t.co/gRDUt9C7fr
We successfully had a section added to Health & Social Care Act for a ☀️ Sunshine Payment system forcing the medical industry to declare money given to healthcare professionals. Channels of influence MUST be transparent This needs enacting ASAP @EmmaHardyMP @AaronBell4NUL
You are in your own Battle Royale, strapped to a time bomb, thinking when is it going to go off… & what damage it’s going to do - Sam shares her #mesh story

Women shouldnt have to resort to telling their stories in the media and holding rallies & protests to have their voices heard - but that’s what it took to make healthcare regulators sit up & take notice of the #mesh scandal @EmmaHardyMP @PSCommissioner
#Menopause is so much more than no more periods or hot flushes. I found this image on the web. Please share - it might reassure someone that they aren’t imagining symptoms.
