Symphysiotomy survivors reject report findings

The author of an ongoing report into symphysiotomy has said it is “very disappointing” that a group representing survivors of the procedure has opted not to take part in a consultation process.

Survivors of Symphysiotomy held an extraordinary general meeting in Dublin yesterday to discuss the first phase of the Walsh Report which is compiled by Professor Oonagh Walsh of University College Cork.

SOS claims to be the largest support group for survivors of symphysiotomy.
