In respect of the service provisions and supports in place to support women experiencing mesh related complications, multidisciplinary specialist services for women suffering from mesh complications are available via the HSE National Mesh Complications Service, based at Cork University Hospital (CUMH) and the National Maternity Hospital (NMH) Dublin. This service has been operational since 1st September 2021. The HSE published a detailed Implementation Plan to progress the recommendations outlined in the Chief Medical Officer’s report on the Use of Uro-Gynaecological Mesh in Surgical Procedures.

The National Women and Infants Health Programme continue to lead on this work for the HSE and I am referring the question to the HSE for direct reply on this matter.
