Breasts: Plastic Surgery

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to help ensure that all surgeons, including private surgeons, record the implants they have done in the Breast Implant Registry.

Answer

The Outcomes and Registries Directions 2024 require that all healthcare providers of National Health Service funded care contribute data to the Breast and Cosmetic Implant Register. Therefore, compliance from both NHS and private clinicians, in relation to NHS funded care, is mandatory. Furthermore, work is ongoing within NHS England to ensure that all NHS and independent sector providers contribute data to the Medical Devices Outcomes Registry, following the recommendations of the Cumberlege Inquiry, with further information available at the following link:
