The government faces criticism for delayed reforms benefiting women harmed by pelvic mesh implants, as highlighted by the Cumberlege report five years ago. That report, after speaking with over 700 women, made key recommendations to address the issues caused by the pelvic mesh, Primodos, and sodium valproate. Despite some implementation, many significant proposals remain unaddressed. Kath Sansom emphasizes that institutional inertia exacerbates the suffering of those impacted, with comprehensive patient safety measures still in development.
"This is a complex area of work and the government is carefully considering the patient safety commissioner's recommendations in full."
"Thousands of lives were ruined because officials failed to listen to female patients."
