Commenting on reports that mesh campaigners have called on the Health Secretary to consider her position, Neil Findlay MSP said:
“There may have been no date in the diary for the reintroduction of mesh in Scotland, but it seems clear the Scottish Government was planning it.
“If, as the Health Secretary insists, this senior group of doctors and officials did not meet in February to discuss how and when mesh should be reintroduced, then she should publish the minutes.
“If this was indeed the purpose of the meeting, despite her denials, then the questions will get very serious indeed.”
Scottish Labour Health Spokesperson Monica Lennon added:
“What matters more than the Health Secretary’s reputation is the health of Scotland’s mesh injured women.
Jeane Freeman must report to Parliament immediately and make an urgent statement.”
