It has been a year since I launched the Hughes Report calling for redress for those harmed by #valproate and #pelvicmesh, however I never imagined that a year later I would still be waiting for a full response from the government.

In the discussion MPs highlighted individual cases from their constituents relating to pelvic mesh, and also raised broader issues. A valuable debate promoting these important #patientsafety issues with Government. Well done @MeshCampaign and @KathSansom
New on the hub this morning, a short summary of a Westminster Hall debate in the House of Commons yesterday concerning pelvic mesh and the Independent Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Review #patientsafety
