A Hull MP says it's "extremely disappointing" women will continue to be offered a type of surgery which has left hundreds in agony.
There has been a temporary ban on using mesh implants, which were widely used to help women who suffered problems after childbirth.
Some women have been left unable to walk, work or have sex after having the implants, which are used to treat pelvic organ prolapse and incontinence.

Hull West and Hessle MP Emma Hardy, says she will be asking NICE to look at its guidelines again.
The Labour MP says: "After all the evidence, all the testimonies from so many women about the damage and the harm vaginal mesh can cause, they're now saying that it's safe and yet all the evidence says that is absolutely not the case."
NICE said the "limited evidence" meant "the true prevalence of long-term complications following surgery with mesh is unknown".
