Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent steps his Department has taken to help support people affected by Primodos in Knowsley constituency.

While the Government is sympathetic to the families who believe that they have suffered because of using Hormone Pregnancy Tests, the currently available scientific evidence does not support a causal association between the use of Hormone Pregnancy Tests during early pregnancy and adverse pregnancy outcomes.

The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency has committed, together with the wider Government, to review any new scientific evidence which comes to light since the conclusions of the 2017 independent Expert Working Group convened by the Commission on Human Medicines.
