Care teams in England “should be the best paid people in society, not the worst," PM Andy Burnham says

He also points to how many people from other countries have been caring for his father

Great to hear Andy Burnham make it clear that assisted suicide should not be legalised in the context of a massively underfunded care sector.

His Labour MPs should rally behind their Prime Minister and reject the assisted suicide Bill during the debate on 11 September.

[Nikki da Costa @nmdacosta]

Quite separate of it being an awful unsafe bill, very good to see a Prime Minister recognise this ‘choice’, if it is to exist, should only exist in this context.

The cover-up began long before the truth emerged. Whistleblowers were silenced in 1991. Only a small number of bereaved families could not be silenced.

Since then we’ve endured investigation after investigation, inquiries into investigations instead of accountability. Now, Police Investigation No. 5 – Operation Magenta (2018–2026) – families still waiting for those responsible to be held to account.
What do you think is accountability coming?

[Spotlight Justice @SpotlightJustiz]

It beggars belief how there have been 5 Police investigations and still no charges. If I was a cynic you would think the Police are just waiting for the perpetrators to die so no criminal charges can be brought. 🤔🤔🤔

Maybe it's time for a private prosecution.

[Louise White @LouiseWhitemesh]

I never used to be outspoken & angry Since being injured by #PelvicMesh I am constantly. It's about no one being accountable, or accepting responsibility & zero confidence that we won't have relentless cycles of harm to millions of people due to licensing & surveillance decisions

[Louise White @LouiseWhitemesh]

Why do #PelvicMesh injured patients get brain fog? Pain & damage to multiple organs & their functioning is bad enough without losing our minds too. I kid myself it's lack of sleep but fear it's really toxity from polypropylene. I daren't look. Its not like I can do anything.

[Louise White @LouiseWhitemesh]

#PelvicMesh is on my mind multiple times every day. When for no reason I can fathom the pain is worse & it doesn't matter what I do, or don't do, it makes no odds & when that's the day of your son's 30th bday & you just can't sit at all so you stay home alone. It's total misery.

Government and its Organisations are Rendering the Population Powerless, Impotent, and Sick.

Gaslighted by your surgeon after surgery...
Faced with a GP who doesn't know where to refer you...
Sent back home from A & E without treatment...
What would you do?
'I'm still standing. A woman's battle after a mesh implant' is just 1 patient's story🔽

Women’s posts about pelvic mesh are frequently hidden or suppressed due to aggressive social media algorithms that flag anatomical words and graphic medical symptoms as adult content. Learn how to BREAK THE SUPPRESSION BLOCKADE. Just keep Following and Engage in ALL Mesh Posts.

In 16 years of doing this work, I have never told anyone to stop taking their psychiatric medication.

I do not know what is right for another person, and I have never claimed to.

I share my story, basic facts about the mental health industry, and why informed choice matters.

Here’s the problem: Most people never get to make a true choice regarding psychiatric diagnoses or treatments. They aren’t told about the unscientific underpinnings of the DSM, the comprehensive list of risks that come with taking psychiatric drugs, how absent their long-term safety and efficacy data is, or how hard it can be to get off them. Without that as a starting point, informed choice is impossible.

Nobody wants you to talk about antidepressant withdrawal; their poor outcomes for tx of depression; high rates of relapse; permanent sexual dysfunction; impact on suicide, violence, & a range of a adverse reactions that get misdiagnosed as 'mental illness'

So talk about it.

@JanUrban12 This information has been sent officially and to MHRA so far no response!
but governments cannot keep ignoring all this evidence

[Bernice Romain @470kingsland]

@LouiseWhitemesh My medical notes: incomplete and blatantly not true/made up dates and definitions....my mesh surgery literally left out and breezed over like a desert island holiday all those years. "Whitewash". You can say that again. Too traumatized and disabled to seek recognition or redress.

[Louise White @LouiseWhitemesh]

I'm sorry to hear this. Living with #MeshInjuries is hard enough, but the responses from too many medical professionals have made matters far worse. We needed diagnosis & treatment. Even an apology would have helped. The responses just exacerbated an already dire situation.

[Janis Kay Urban @JanUrban12]

@470kingsland @LouiseWhitemesh Not right that so many women's records are so incomplete when documenting/tracking these m*sh devices outcomes accurately. But if they had done that, the m*sh craze wouldn't have happened.

[Renata Rykowska @RenataRykowska]

You are right. The failure of every formal route is itself evidence of systemic failure.

As of 11 July 2026, the UK Government has still not confirmed the pelvic-mesh redress scheme recommended by the Patient Safety Commissioner. The Government’s renewed Women’s Health Strategy states only that work to confirm the scheme is continuing.

The Patient Safety Commissioner has now exercised her statutory powers under the Medicines and Medical Devices Act to demand further information from No. 10, with a deadline of 16 July 2026.

Patients can challenge Freedom of Information refusals by requesting an internal review and, if the matter remains unresolved, complaining to the Information Commissioner’s Office.

A UK parliamentary petition receives a government response at 10,000 signatures. At 100,000 signatures, it may be considered for debate in Parliament.

Where a relevant parliamentary inquiry is accepting submissions, patients and campaign groups can also provide written evidence, request anonymity or confidentiality and present documented evidence of systemic failure. Committees cannot resolve individual cases, but collective evidence can help establish the scale and pattern of harm.

However, patients who have already exhausted every official channel should not be told simply to complain again. What is needed now is coordinated evidence, parliamentary scrutiny, independent investigation, funded treatment and meaningful redress.

Patients injured by pelvic mesh implants have said they feel let down by the legal system as their struggles for compensation have dragged on.
The Hughes Report, published by England’s patient safety commissioner Dr Henrietta Hughes, said the lack of an independent body to decide redress was ‘unsustainable and causing immense anxiety for harmed patients’.

NHS SPENT 11 MILLION POUNDS TRYING TO PROVE ONE CARDIOLOGIST WAS WRONG

Dr Raj Mattu flagged 5 patients crammed into 4 bed cardiac bays at Walsgrave Hospital in 2001. A 35 year old died because staff could not reach him in time.

He told @BBC. The trust suspended him, reportedly hired private investigators, and sent over 200 complaints about him to @gmcuk. All 200 were rejected.

At the 2016 remedy hearing the trust's barrister called him greedy for wanting the compensation he was already owed, then suggested he retrain as a school teacher on 30,000 pounds a year.

He won. Around 1.22 million pounds, up to 2.5 million once tax was added. The legal fight cost the trust over 11 million in public money.

Patients died. He spoke up. The system spent a decade trying to prove him wrong instead of fixing the ward.
