Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the report of the Independent Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Review entitled First Do No Harm, published on 8 July 2020, how many people with stress urinary incontinence have been treated with mesh (a) slings and (b) tapes at University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust between (i) 1 July 2018 and 1 July 2019, (ii) 2 July 2019 to 1 July 2020, (iii) 2 July 2020 to 1 July 2021 and (iv) 2 July 2021 to 11 July 2022.

We are unable to provide the information requested on the number of patients with stress urinary incontinence treated with slings at University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust from 2 July 2019 to 1 July 2020. This is due to the small number of patients involved which could lead to the identification of individuals. However, no patients were treated with slings between 1 July 2018 and 1 July 2019 or between 2 July 2020 and 11 July 2022.

No patients with stress urinary incontinence were treated with mesh tape at the Trust between 1 July 2018 and 11 July 2022.
