The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to support those impacted by Primodos.

Answered by Andrew Gwynne

Primodos is one of three areas Baroness Cumberlege was asked to look into as part of her Independent Medicines and Medical Devices Review, which reported in 2020. Since the report was published, action has been taken to address the issues identified, including appointing the first Patient Safety Commissioner to champion patient voice in relation to the safety of medicines and medical devices.
