Proceeding contribution from Sarah Wollaston (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 January 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Breast Implants.


Breast Implants

I welcome the clear commitment to putting women's health needs first in this context, but is not the heart of the problem the obvious conflict of interests for private clinics when it comes to the provision of long-term safety statistics? Will my right hon. Friend ensure that any future system allows women to self-report to the registry—albeit with a follow-up from specialists for confirmation purposes—so that we can have a complete picture of the long-term complications caused by devices of this kind?
