Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

Vaginal Mesh Implants: Discussion

Ms Amanda Jackson:

I have been in contact with the Minister. I have been writing to him throughout my journey since 2020. I wrote to the Medical Council. I have spoken to the person who is heading the patient pathway and asked for statistics. My background is in healthcare. I was a midwife in the UK. Evidence-based practice is fundamental. I said we have been injured and need to know who is doing the surgeries, what is their experience and what are the outcomes for the women who have been operated on. She would give me no information.
