Dozens of women whose lives have been damaged by mesh implants have criticised a service set up to support them.
The implant procedure was halted in 2018 because of the life-changing side effects many women suffered.The CMSS, hosted by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde, was set up to support women who had experience of transvaginal mesh.
Another said GPs did not have much knowledge of the complications that were associated with mesh and associated ailments such as autoimmune issues and fatigue. The report concluded: "It is clear however that many of the responses come from women who have suffered life-changing symptoms for many years and whose trust in the many medical professionals they have encountered is all but completely depleted.
Ms Kenny, from the Mesh Survivors Group, told the BBC there was a lack of trust in NHS surgeons because of issues from the past. She paid for her own trip to the US to see Dr Veronikis after previous surgery in Edinburgh in 2016 did not remove the whole of the mesh strip.She said the Scottish surgery removed a few centimetres of mesh whereas Dr Veronikis took out 16cm .
In a statement the health board said it was grateful to all of the women who had taken the time to give feedback.
