Sodium Valproate and Surgical Mesh Implants: Compensation
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to implement the compensation recommendations in the Hughes Report, published on 7 February 2024.
Answered by Ashley Dalton
The Government is carefully considering the work by the Patient Safety Commissioner and her report, which set out options for redress for those harmed by valproate and pelvic mesh. This is a complex issue involving input from different Government departments. The Government will provide a further update to the Patient Safety Commissioner’s report in due course.
