Proceeding contribution from Mark Durkan (Social Democratic & Labour Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 January 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Breast Implants.


Breast Implants

I acknowledge the Secretary of State's commitment to engaging proactively with the devolved Administrations on this issue. However, in his statement he used somewhat clumsy language regarding the third main finding of the expert group, saying that ““there is no clear evidence that these problems are more serious in relation to PIP implants than other implants, or that they result in increased long-term health risks.”” Is he not concerned that, put so clumsily, that will not only fail to reassure those with PIP implants but extend concern and alarm to those who have received other implants?
