Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether specialist surgical mesh centres opening from April 2021 will provide surgery for people affected by rectopexy meshes.
NHS England and NHS Improvement are considering the commissioning of care and support for people with complications in the use of mesh inserted for colorectal indications or rectopexy. This work includes exploring whether the remit of the existing specialist mesh services can be expanded. NHS England and NHS Improvement expect to have made a decision by the autumn.
