Officials in my Department are currently liaising with the Health Service Executive (HSE) and other stakeholders as part of an evidence-based process to determine whether it is appropriate to re-introduce the use of uro-gynaecological (transvaginal) mesh.
I acknowledge the impact the pause on the use of uro-gynaecological mesh can have women who wish to avail of this surgery. This is an extremely complex and sensitive issue which requires a safety-first approach, therefore it is not possible to give a timeline for decision at present.
