 The Scandal of Women being Injured by Emesh Implants was brought to the attention of the Public Petitions Committee four years ago by petitioners Elaine Holmes and Olive McElroy. Now the committee has published a report criticising the continued use of the procedure in Scotland, despite the announcement of a ban, the independent review into the procedure and the treatment of the women who reported concerns. One of the most important things that came out of this report for me was the extent to which women were not believed when they were highlighting their concerns. The concerns weren't recorded and, therefore, when they looked at whether the procedure was effective or not, it looked as if there wasn't a problem and the scandal was unfolding. The next thing I think that must be a real concern for the Scottish Government is that it could be possible for the Cabinet Secretary to announce a moratorium on the procedure, but that procedure is still to continue. I think the government needs to look at that and be reassured that we are not allowing people to have procedures which they're not fully informed about.
