Ministers have been urged to give financial compensation to women affected by the mesh scandal after the Patient Safety Commissioner expressed her disappointment over a lack of action to date.

Last year, Dr Henrietta Hughes highlighted that thousands of women’s lives were “destroyed” because of pelvic mesh and said that there was a “clear case for redress” for thousands of women and children affected by vaginal mesh implants and sodium valproate.
