Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Vaginal Mesh Implants: Discussion
Dr. Cl?ona Murphy:
A total of 190 patients made contact with the HSE. There were designated emails. Information was put up on the HSE website. All of those contacts were responded to. It then devolved to the individual sites regarding appointments. There is no waiting list in Cork. A number of women are waiting in Dublin, but contacts have been made with anybody who has made contact. There is a slight discrepancy in numbers with regard to what we heard earlier. We are obviously dealing with people who have made contact with the HSE. There are two mesh administrators, one in Dublin and the other in Cork, who have contact and oversight on any of the clinical activity going on. Pro formashave been set up to collect data going forward and guidelines have been set up. Considerable work has been done on the ground to address the issues we acknowledge were not dealt with well in the past.
