On the number of people who are experiencing complications, my understanding from the figures we have been given is that over 750 people have had mesh implants. However, the figures out of Cork and Dublin for people who have attended the treatment centre are quite low. I am wondering whether information is out there with GPs about these two clinics? Is it out there across the board with consultants who might be dealing with women who are having complications? What further work can be done to ensure people are aware there is a specialist clinic dealing with it?
