The Government is carefully considering the valuable work done by the Patient Safety commissioner and the resulting Hughes Report, which set out options for redress for those harmed by valproate and pelvic mesh. We will be providing an update to the Patient Safety Commissioner’s Report at the earliest opportunity.
