NORMA ROBERTS

Former NHS theatre nurse Norma Roberts, 58, from Linwood, had to give up her job in 2013 after a partial mesh removal left her in an even worse condition.

She applied to the mesh centre to get referred to a doctor outwith Scotland and received a letter in August discharging her from the service altogether. Norma said: “I’ve heard nothing since. To be told I’m discharged from the service feels like a I’ve been totally abandoned. What is supposed to happen next?

“Before I’m supposed to go to another surgeon outwith Scotland I need a pre-assessment within three months before I get seen. But discharging me from the service, leaves me in limbo. The whole system is a complete shambles.”
