On the eve of the one year anniversary of the Hughes Report we are urging the government to fast track a package of financial redress for women harmed by Pelvic Mesh. #hearhervoice #redressnow

Today Ruth MacLeod of #slingthemesh & researchers from Bath Uni & RCSI attended the #Firstdonoharm APPG to discuss transparency of payments from industry to the healthcare sector. We need a central govt-run database underpinned by legislation building on Health & Care Act 2022
