I appreciate very much the presentation the Deputy has made on this and I will ensure there is a timely response. I assure the House that I understand very well where the Deputy is coming from and the need of these people to know the where, how and, most importantly, when of the next steps. That is the assurance we would like to provide and as such I will certainly try to get a date for the Deputy without delay. The Minister for Health is committed to ensuring the safe and effective use of mesh implants and that there is an appropriate and timely response to women who suffer mesh complications. The Department has written to the HSE to request the preparation of a detailed plan for the implementation in conjunction with other stakeholders of the complete set of recommendations set out in the CMO's report. The Minister intends to meet with the Mesh Survivors Ireland group in the coming weeks to discuss the report. I assure the Deputy that I will get the answers she requests.
