Ms Mary McLaughlin:

It is only one surgeon who is 63. When I started this, he was not yet 60. Women around the world travel to him. He has been insulted by the treatment he received with regard to the Scotland project so the Government would have to engage with him. If he was treated with respect, the women could be operated on here and would have their families around them. Someone making that journey from the US to here after that major surgery would not have had her family and friends with her when she had her operation. I do not know if the world expert would engage. He spent two and a half or three years talking to the Scottish Government but it has sent nobody out to him.
