Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, pursuant to the Answer of 1 September 2020 to Question 78516 on Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Independent Review, what the Government's timetable is for providing an update on its consideration of the recommendations of the Independent Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Review, published on 8 July 2020.

All recommendations of the Independent Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Review are being considered carefully.

We do not consider it appropriate to commit to a specific timeframe for a response while these recommendations are being considered. While this report was published on 8 July, it took over two years to compile and we therefore consider it vitally important that it is given full consideration.
