Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Vaginal Mesh Implants: Discussion

Mr. Robert Kidd:

For ease of reference, four of those are ongoing. They relate to professional training requirements and to mesh surgical unit facilities. For ease of reference, and I will not go through them all again because they are quite lengthy, recommendations 8 to 11 have been mainly comprehended by recommendation 12, which is around national clinical guidance. They refer to when the pause is lifted. They will only come into being when the pause is lifted. They require that pause to be lifted. Those are four of the recommendations. The other ongoing recommendation is recommendation 1, which is under the heading of "Patient Information and Consent Recommendations". That is in draft. It needs to be updated in line with new research and with best practice, when the system is on notice that the pause is to be lifted. Again, it relates to the lifting of the pause.
