Question
To ask the Scottish Government what its response is to reports stating that it is only planning to facilitate the treatment of 15 mesh-injured women from Scotland in the United States by the mesh removal surgeon, Dr Dionysios Veronikis.
Answer
The number of women who can be treated by Dr Veronikis is not subject to a cap. The decision on whether surgery can be undertaken for any individual is ultimately one for the clinician and patient, through joint decision making.
