Women who travel to the US under a Scottish Government scheme to fix a medical scandal face a postcode lottery of follow up treatment after returning home.

Victims of mesh claim they’re being denied treatment by their health boards - despite the issue being caused in Scotland. The Sunday Mail asked each of Scotland’s 14 health boards if they would continue to see a patient for issues relating to the plastic-style medical inserts after undergoing surgery in the US or England.

Only nine have so far said they would.Louise Thompson travelled to the US in August under the scheme but claims her health board, NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde have refused to treat her further as she had chosen to have the treatment abroad.

Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson placed in conservatorship following dementia diagnosis
place the musician under a conservatorship in February after the Beach Boys co-founder was diagnosed with dementia, Fox News Digital confirmed.The diagnosis, coupled with the recent passing of Brian’s wife, Melinda Wilson, led his family and doctors to make the decision.“I find from clear and convincing evidence that a conservatorship of the person is necessary,” Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Gus T. May said at the brief hearing.The judge said that evidence shows that Wilson consents to the arrangement and lacks the capacity to make health care decisions.His longtime representatives, Jean Sievers and manager LeeAnn Hard, were appointed as his conservators.In February, when his family initially sought the conservatorship, they released a statement to Fox News Digital, saying, “Following the passing of Brian’s beloved wife Melinda, after careful consideration and consultation among Brian, his seven children, Gloria Ramos and Brian’s doctors (and consistent with family processes put in place by Brian and Melinda), we are confirming that longtime Wilson family representatives LeeAnn Hard and Jean Sievers will serve as Brian’s co-conservators of the person.”Before her death, Melinda provided Brian with his “daily living needs,” involving “physical health, food, clothing, or shelter,” according to a court document obtained by Fox News Digital.In his advance health care directive, Melinda was named as his agent for healthcare — but there was not a successor put in place before her death.
