answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/02/2018 answer text <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.
