<p>The Government does not support a suspension or ban of the use of surgical mesh
devices. The view of the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA)
is that surgical mesh devices are acceptably safe when used as intended and as part
of an appropriate treatment pathway where the associated risk and benefits are considered,
and where surgical mesh devices conform to the requirements of the current legislation
in the European Union.</p><p> </p><p>As a Department we are committed to improving
the outcomes for all patients involved. We continue to work closely with MHRA, NHS
England, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence and professional bodies.
MHRA continue to review available evidence to ensure our regulatory position is up
to date, liaising with EU partners and non-EU regulators.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
