Independent Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Review

Selaine Saxby Excerpts

Thursday 9th July 2020 Commons Chamber

[Ms Dorries]

I will try to keep my answers shorter. The hon. Lady is absolutely right. The sodium valproate pregnancy prevention programme is running hand in hand with an information awareness programme. Many GPs are aware, but of course there is still a problem and it is something that we are addressing.

[Selaine Saxby (North Devon) (Con)]

My constituent Diane Surman’s daughter, Helen, was affected by the Primodos scandal, and I am delighted that their circumstances have finally been recognised for the injustice that they are. Will my hon. Friend assure me that the Government will do all they can to ensure that Bayer recognises its responsibilities, apologises and contributes towards the payments outlined in the report?

[Ms Dorries]

I cannot comment on Primodos due to pending legal action.
