Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what recent estimate he has made of the number of people who were affected by the hormone pregnancy testing drug Primodos.

The evidence for a possible causal association between Hormone Pregnancy Tests (HPTs, including Primodos) and birth defects is still under consideration by the Expert Working Group of the Commission on Human Medicines on HPTs and so the number of people who may have been affected by Primodos has not been estimated.
