My question is to the Minister representing the Minister for Health and Aged Care in the Senate, Senator Nash. Last week in the Senate I revealed the horror affecting thousands of women that is called transvaginal mesh. It is the modern scourge for women that thalidomide was back in the fifties and the sixties. It is commonly inserted into mothers who, after giving birth, develop incontinence and prolapse problems. Has the minister taken any steps to investigate this abomination since I raised the issue?
