Text

I thank the Member for giving way. I pay tribute to Órlaithí, Paula and other colleagues who have worked on the issue of vaginal mesh. The Member and I have been involved with that issue at various points over the years.
Does the Member agree that the plight of women who have been impacted by vaginal mesh is totally unacceptable and that the news that came from GB last week off the back of the Independent Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Review is further proof of that? Does she agree that women in Northern Ireland cannot be left behind when it comes to the issue of vaginal mesh?
