we are back with the late news at Ten - now on BBC1 its time | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Two patient representatives have quit the independent review group | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
looking at the safety of mesh implants. | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
Olive McIlroy and Elaine Holmes, who both suffered severe | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
complications following mesh implant surgery, have complained that | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
Elaine Holmes had a mesh implant, and suffered severe complications. | :00:17. | :00:37. | |
She has quit the independence should view group looking at safety, saying | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
the report has been changed beyond all recognition. We were shocked | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
when we saw the draft report and we have seen three versions of it now. | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
We have submitted comments, participated in every meeting, and | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
our voices have not been heard. We are being ignored. Mesh implant have | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
been used in Scotland for 20 years. Around 20,000 women have undergone | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
surgery. There used to treat conditions such as incontinence | :01:03. | :01:05. | |
which can occur after childbirth. That some women have suffered | :01:06. | :01:15. | |
painful and debilitating complications, and a bird of them | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
are taking legal action against the number of health boards. After | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
campaigners took their fight to the Scottish parliament, the government | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
set up a review into mesh implant safety. The final report is due to | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
be published soon. Campaigners claim an entire chapter has been removed. | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
Correspondence seen by the BBC has shown one member of the group has | :01:34. | :01:37. | |
raised concerns. The devil is in the detail. I think the ball is in their | :01:38. | :01:44. | |
court to save this review, but save it truthfully. The Health Secretary | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
said she will need the women -- meet the women to discuss their concerns. | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
Two of Britain's biggest investment companies, Standard Life | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
and Aberdeen Asset Management, are in talks about | :01:57. | :01:57. | |
They would become one of Europe's largest fund managers | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
More from our business and economy Editor, Douglas Fraser. | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
It is about wealth, but not about the super wealthy. These company's | :02:08. | :02:18. | |
brands are promoted through sport to detail and pension products. We | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
manage a lot of money. They have been entrusted with ?660 billion of | :02:24. | :02:31. | |
investment. The powerful as investors and other companies, and | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
can have a big impact on the wider economy. The big influences on the | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
decisions other companies make on top executive pay. The merger plan | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
announced this weekend was in response to a leaked, and a response | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
to competitive pressure from lower response asset managers. If | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
approved, it would see swapping of existing cheers for a newer ones, | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
with standard life worth twice the value of Aberdeen Asset Management. | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
The chief executives would be in an unusual form of job shower. It is | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
not a done deal yet, but they are nearly the. This would create not | :03:04. | :03:10. | |
just a Scottish financial giant, but one of European and global | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
significance. The logic of what they are trying to do under a lot of | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
competitive pressure is to put two companies together that can remove | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
duplication, cut costs, which means a loss of some jobs. | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
The Scottish government's announced a review of school meal standards. | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
Education Secretary John Swinney says Scotland already has some | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
of the highest standards in Europe, but has asked experts to look | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
into whether further improvements are needed. | :03:33. | :03:33. | |
The announcement came after the BBC revealed school children were eating | :03:34. | :03:36. | |

that meeting poultry demand from within Scotland | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
