Sodium Valproate and Surgical Mesh Implants: Compensation
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when he plans to publish a response to the Hughes Report, published on 7 February 2024.
Answered by Ashley Dalton
The Government is carefully considering the valuable work done by the Patient Safety Commissioner and the resulting Hughes Report, which set out options for redress for those harmed by valproate and pelvic mesh. This is a complex area of work, involving several Government departments, and it is important that we get this right. We will be providing an update to the Patient Safety Commissioner’s report at the earliest opportunity.
