The Minister of State is aware of the seriousness of this issue. The people I have been dealing with have been trying to go England because the mesh itself cannot be taken out in full, once one has it. That is a concern. Evidently, part of the mesh can be taken out. This is a crucial issue and I ask the Minister of State to convey to the Minister for Health that this cannot happen to anybody else, in particular given the way people have been affected by this. Their whole lives have changed. This is an important issue. I have seen the 19 recommendations and I will return to this issue. I hope this can be sorted and that no one else will be left in the situation of some of the people I have dealt with over the last few months.
