What a shame the money spent on @JuliaCumberlege report has been cast aside. Information overflowing In FDNH The redress much needed should be paid for by industry fines for faulty products and misleading the public. Sunshine act & NHSE funding much needed help next please

I 100% agree with this. Seeing some of the stories from our clients these complications are far reaching. My colleague @CarolineWebberB is dealing with lots of these cases. @sleeblackwell

This morning's launch in Parliament of my report into redress options for those harmed by pelvic mesh and valproate heard how women were deceived, kept in the dark, and fobbed off and let down by the health system - read the report at patientsafetycommissioner.or…

Feel free to speak to @HumzaYousaf or any of the Scottish governments health ministers since 2014. They say they were listening, unfortunately not much was done whilst women continued to suffer. Took @AlexNeilSNP , an ex health minister, to announce the moratorium

Mesh member: “Im glad our plight is being highlighted but it feels like scraps being thrown our way to make headlines. How many hoops are we going to have to jump through to “qualify” for 2nd payments?” #mesh

Women have had lives devastated from Pelvic Mesh which they were told was a gold standard, simple surgery with lno risk. Some are now disabled. The majority live in chronic pain. 7 in 10 lost sex lives. Many have had to give up work and lost careers and pensions @PSCommissioner

🚨Recognising the Governments #RwandaBill breaks international law, disaplies human rights & puts all our rights at risk @LibDemLords have tabled a FATAL MOTION to kill off the Bill
It’s backed the Green Party peers & if @LabourLordsUK join them this shameful bill can be stopped

@PSCommissioner @uclh @KenZeroHarm @JuliaCumberlege can anyone help the #rectopexy #mesh patients at uclh mesh center. Why are patients being told that there are no Dr's to help, no plans, no info and referral to another mesh center must be by gp starting at the back of the Q.

British senior Conservative MP Ester McVey has claimed Covid vaccines have a “disproportionate” injury rate, with injuries including “strokes, blood clots, heart attacks, amputations and neurological conditions”
She has gone on to say that 98% of covid vaccine injuries are being missed !!!
British PM #Sunak is coming under greater scrutiny as he has consistently pushed the vaccines after investing personal sums of money to the tune of $500 million into #Moderna and then stating that the vaccines were "safe and effective" in Parliament while making huge profits as people were injured and killed in the UK.
There is speculation that Sunak will again attack and attempt to silence one of his own MP's from speaking up as he did with former Conservative MP Andrew Bridgen who raised the question of vaccine harms and who called for an inquiry. #ExcessDeaths #VaccineInjuries #mRNA

ZHH #BBCNational does only #PermittedCriticism of @NHSEngland. So @BBCHughPym will do pieces based on @DHSCgovuk @NHSEngland press releases. @MichelePaduano + the other regional health reporters do the real journalism.

Sad to see #mesh surgery being promoted on @BBCBreakfast when there’s been a 2.5 year review commissioned by @theresa_may into its catastrophic life changing risks @PSCommissioner
Olympic athlete @AmyWilliamsMBE had #mesh surgery 12 weeks ago to fix urinary & rectal incontinence but says symptom wise the op hasn’t made much difference - she’s now focusing on pelvic floor & nutrition @pelvicroar

Sadly we see this every day in our support group. We even had one woman whose surgeon blamed her sexual abuse as a child for inability to deal with pain following #mesh surgery
The Psychiatrization of Consumers after Harm
When surgery goes awry, the harmed person often wants redress. But a common defense of the Dr is to label the Harmed Patient as having a Mental Illness.
The Patients account, is then perceived as untrustworthy madinamerica.com/2023/07/psy…
