Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Vaginal Mesh Implants: Discussion

Ms Terri Martin:

People are meeting every possible barrier with medical cards. People might have husbands who work. With the injury caused by the mesh, the diversity in families and relationships has changed. I do not think one could necessarily say that a husband's wages, although people are married, will be put into a wife's medical card.
