General Medical Guidance published in February 2013 makes it clear that clinicians should report medical device incidents to the MHRA, and make information available to patients about how they can report side effects to the MHRA. The MHRA also encourages voluntary reporting of adverse incidents by healthcare workers, carers, patients and members of the public and participates in monthly telephone meetings with regulators in other European Union member states to share information about medical device safety.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>The Department is currently engaged in work to assess the effectiveness of existing arrangements for reporting complications relating to transvaginal mesh implants. NHS England is leading this work, which also involves the MHRA, the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists, and the relevant professional societies (the British Society of Urogynaecology and the British Association of Urological Surgeons).<\/p><p> <\/p><p>Finished Consultant Episodes for women who have received a primary or secondary operative procedure for the insertion of Transvaginal Mesh, Transobturator Tape, Transvaginal Slings and Transvaginal Tape.<\/p><p> <\/p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Procedure<\/p><\/td><td><p>2010-11<\/p><\/td><td><p>2011-12<\/p><\/td><td><p>2012-13<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p>Insertion of Transvaginal Mesh<\/p><\/td><td><p>1,636<\/p><\/td><td><p>1,524<\/p><\/td><td><p>1,310<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p>Insertion of Transobturator Tape<\/p><\/td><td><p>5,426<\/p><\/td><td><p>4,885<\/p><\/td><td><p>4,476<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p>Insertion of Transvaginal Sling<\/p><\/td><td><p>130<\/p><\/td><td><p>134<\/p><\/td><td><p>135<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p>Insertion of Transvaginal Tape<\/p><\/td><td><p>8,087<\/p><\/td><td><p>8,172<\/p><\/td><td><p>7,627<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><p> <\/p><p><em>Source<\/em>: Hospital Episode Statistics (HES), Health and Social Care Information Centre.<\/p><p><em>Note<\/em>: Activity in English NHS Hospitals and English NHS commissioned activity in the independent sector.<\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p>Adverse events reported to MHRA by Health Professionals concerning Vaginal tape and mesh implants are as follows<\/p><p> <\/p><table><tbody><tr><td> <\/td><td><p>Vaginal Tapes for Stress Urinary Incontinence<\/p><\/td><td><p>Vaginal Mesh for Pelvic Organ Prolapse<\/p><\/td><td><p>Vaginal Mesh for unknown* indication<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p>2011<\/p><\/td><td><p>3<\/p><\/td><td><p>1<\/p><\/td><td><p>0<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p>2012<\/p><\/td><td><p>23<\/p><\/td><td><p>31<\/p><\/td><td><p>2<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p>2013<\/p><\/td><td><p>27<\/p><\/td><td><p>20<\/p><\/td><td><p>0<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p>Up to March 2014<\/p><\/td><td><p>16<\/p><\/td><td><p>7<\/p><\/td><td><p>0<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><p>*The reporter did not provide enough information on what type of mesh it was<\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p>Number of patient safety incidents relating to mesh used in gynaecological procedures reported to the NRLS (Year of occurrence by reported degree of harm)<\/p><p> <\/p><table><tbody><tr><td><p> <\/p><\/td><td><p>No Harm<\/p><\/td><td><p>Low<\/p><\/td><td><p>Moderate<\/p><\/td><td><p>TOTAL<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p>2011<\/p><\/td><td><p>0<\/p><\/td><td><p>2<\/p><\/td><td><p>4<\/p><\/td><td><p>6<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p>2012<\/p><\/td><td><p>7<\/p><\/td><td><p>4<\/p><\/td><td><p>3<\/p><\/td><td><p>14<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p>2013<\/p><\/td><td><p>4<\/p><\/td><td><p>1<\/p><\/td><td><p>1<\/p><\/td><td><p>6<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p>TOTAL<\/p><\/td><td><p>11<\/p><\/td><td><p>7<\/p><\/td><td><p>8<\/p><\/td><td><p>26<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><p>Search strategy: All incidents from gynaecological specialties in the NRLS were searched on 2 December 2013 for the keyword \u2018mesh'<\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p><p>Adverse events reported to MHRA by patients/members of the public concerning Vaginal tape and mesh implants are as follows<\/p><p> <\/p><table><tbody><tr><td> <\/td><td><p>Vaginal Tapes for Stress Urinary Incontinence<\/p><\/td><td><p>Vaginal Mesh for Pelvic Organ Prolapse<\/p><\/td><td><p>Vaginal Mesh for unknown* indication<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p>2011<\/p><\/td><td><p>33<\/p><\/td><td><p>7<\/p><\/td><td><p>3<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p>2012<\/p><\/td><td><p>26<\/p><\/td><td><p>2<\/p><\/td><td><p>0<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p>2013<\/p><\/td><td><p>30<\/p><\/td><td><p>10<\/p><\/td><td><p>3<\/p><\/td><\/tr><tr><td><p>Up to March 2014<\/p><\/td><td><p>7<\/p><\/td><td><p>0<\/p><\/td><td><p>0<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><p>*The reporter did not provide enough information on what type of mesh it was<\/p><p> <\/p><p>No incidents relating to transvaginal mesh have been reported to the NRLS by patients.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>The Department has answered 11 previous Parliamentary Questions, 27 letters from hon.
