Women referred to difficulties with transport to clinics. The Cork clinic serves all of Munster. We also need to examine other issues, such as the length of time people are in a clinic. I am conscious that people may not be able to sit for a long period. There are other services and a bigger picture. Treatment does not just involve sitting down and seeing a clinician. Other supports could be provided to make things easier for people in terms of access for women who want to come forward. That is something that could be looked at.

The communications strategy is useful. We gave a commitment that we would return to this issue. I am conscious that there are men who have had problems. We will examine other areas outside of the general mesh implants. I refer to the governance structures around the mesh devices. Will changes come about in respect of that?

What is the structure moving forward on foot of the CMO's recommendations?
