Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Vaginal Mesh Implants: Discussion (29 Jun 2022)

Seán Crowe: Today we got a sense of the scale of the challenge, yet the figures on those who go to Cork and Dublin do not seem to reflect that. Women out there are suffering. In one of the opening statements we were told there were advertisements and so on and that 70 women came forward. I am surprised that more women are not coming forward. I do not know if that is down to a lack of confidence in...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Vaginal Mesh Implants: Discussion (29 Jun 2022)

Seán Crowe: 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.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Vaginal Mesh Implants: Discussion (29 Jun 2022)

Seán Crowe: I am conscious that we are talking about another jurisdiction but this committee would have written to the Department.

They are dreading the postman coming up the...
