Labour has called for an immediate halt to the use of vaginal mesh implants and urged the government to launch an independent inquiry into the “ongoing public health scandal” surrounding the treatment of women for urinary incontinence and pelvic prolapse.

Barry, could I suggest putting Vaginal Mesh Implants as part of the title, would, in my opinion, just make it more obvious what the discussion is likely to be about, as well as making it easier to find in searches.

Immediate stop to NHS mesh operations

NHS England is putting an immediate curb on mesh operations after safety concerns.

It has accepted the advice of a new review looking at harm reported by women who received the treatment for stress urinary incontinence.

The review's chair, Baroness Julia Cumberlege, said she was "appalled at the seriousness and scale of the tragic stories" that her team had heard.

Many women say the implants caused them agony by cutting into tissue.

Some say they have been left with life-changing injuries.
