PE1517, which is on polypropylene mesh medical devices, was lodged by Elaine Holmes and Olive McIlroy on behalf of the Scottish mesh survivors hear our voice campaign.
The chief medical officer has provided an update on the single incision mini-slings trial, and the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency has provided information on completed and on-going projects. The documents include the interim report by the independent review team that was published in October last year.
The expert group’s work is on-going. In carrying the petition over, our predecessor committee suggested that it should be considered again once the independent review team’s final report had been published. Do members have any comments on that suggestion? Perhaps we should defer further consideration of the petition until that final report has been published.
