Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to ensure UK women with PIP breast implants are able to access NHS medical care.

NHS England’s advice for those who received a PIP breast implant is available at the following link:

https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/pip-implants/

This advice states that if the procedure was conducted by the National Health Service, individuals should contact their general practitioner (GP). If the procedure was undertaken by a private provider, individuals should contact the clinic in the first instance or consult their GP if this is no longer possible.
