Proceeding contribution from Andrew George (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 January 2012. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Breast Implants.
Breast Implants
I commend my right hon. Friend's initiative. However, he said the following, which may have been sloppy wording: ““those who have had reconstructive surgery following a mastectomy, will have received PIP implants through the NHS.”” Of course, the majority will not have done so, and I have confirmed with surgeons in Cornwall that PIP implants have never been used in the NHS in Cornwall. Given that the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency issued advice to stop using PIP implants in the UK in March 2010, can the Secretary of State confirm that this advice was acted on, no doubt within the NHS but across private clinics as well?
