Answered by Alex Neil on 28 Nov 2013 · 6 days after it was lodged, on time

To date we have not estimated the number of women treated in the private sector with polypropylene mesh implants for pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence nor who have had a mesh implant partially or totally removed. The Scottish Government do not routinely collect information about activity in the private health sector.
