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


Breast Implants

I am sorry to disappoint my hon. Friend but I cannot offer him such an estimate. We know that some 37,000 women had PIP breast implants. Clearly, not all those will necessarily want removal, and on advice, it might be any proportion of those; I cannot tell him what that figure would be. As we see in France, recommending the removal of implants does not mean that all women will have them removed.
