To ask His Majesty's Government what recent assessment they have made of the recommendation for an Independent Redress Agency in the Independent Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Review report First Do No Harm, published on 8 July 2020.

The Government has asked the Patient Safety Commissioner, Dr Henrietta Hughes, to undertake work looking at redress for people harmed by pelvic mesh and sodium valproate. The work is intended to focus on the views of those affected, improving the understanding of how many people have been affected and how, the case for redress and what form it could take.

The Patient Safety Commissioner office has stated that the report setting out the findings from this work is expected to be published on 7 February this year. The Government will consider the report’s findings before deciding how to proceed on this matter.
