Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to support people who have experienced harm as a result of hormone pregnancy drug Primodos.

The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency has established The Safer Medicines in Pregnancy and Breastfeeding Consortium of 16 organisations to meet the information needs of women and healthcare professionals, through accessible and consistent advice.

We have established the role of Patient Safety Commissioner to work with regulatory bodies to improve the safety of medicines and medical devices. The forthcoming Women’s Health Strategy will also address the health and wellbeing of women in England. A Women’s Health Ambassador will lead the programme to deliver outcomes of the Women’s Health Strategy, which will be published later this year.
