To ask the Scottish Government, what its response is to the offer that was made by Dr Dionysios Veronikis, who is a St Louis-based specialist in carrying out mesh removal procedure, which was published in The Sunday Post on 13 January 2019, to treat mesh-injured women in Scotland and assist with training physicians in performing full mesh removal surgery; whether it has been in contact with Dr Veronikis regarding this, and what estimate it has made of how much this would cost.

To ask the Scottish Government what work it has undertaken, since its announcement on 12 September 2018 that mesh surgery would be halted, to ensure that all NHS boards comply with this instruction and not use mesh as happened previously following the suspension announced in 2014 when some boards continued to carry out mesh procedures.
Answer
Following the 12 September announcement of the halt, the Chief Medical Officer wrote to all Health Board Chief Executives and Medical Directors in order to instruct them that no further procedures were to be carried out. An exception was permitted in the case of those women who were already on the waiting list. In those circumstances surgery was allowed to go ahead, providing clinicians firstly explained the situation to the patient and sought fresh consent, and Scottish Government officials required Health Boards to confirm that those discussions had taken place.
Health Boards confirm they have complied with the instruction to halt procedures, and surgery has gone ahead only in the exceptional circumstances noted above.
