Independent Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Review

Debate between Stephanie Peacock and Nadine Dorries

Thursday 9th July 2020 Commons Chamber

[Ms Dorries]

I cannot comment on Primodos due to pending legal action.

[Stephanie Peacock (Barnsley East) (Lab)]

For too long, female patients have had crippling pain dismissed as “women’s problems”. As the Minister said, women have been failed, so can I press her further on the recommendations of this report? Will the Government appoint a patient safety commissioner to ensure that women are taken seriously and that terrible mistakes like this do not happen again?

[Ms Dorries]

We will be considering all the recommendations and returning to the House with a full report as soon as possible.
