Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what progress he has made on the implementation of the pelvic floor registry as referenced in the Women’s Health Strategy.

The Independent Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Review report highlighted the need for better data collection on pelvic mesh. NHS Digital has developed a Pelvic Floor Registry to monitor and improve patient safety.

On 12 December we published an update report on Government implementation of the accepted recommendations of the Independent Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Review report, which provides an update on work on pelvic mesh including the pelvic floor registry, available at the following link:
