68: After Clause 40, insert the following new Clause—
“Redress schemes
The Secretary of State must, by the end of the period of three months beginning with the day on which this Act is passed, bring proposals before Parliament to establish redress schemes for those avoidably harmed by—
(a) hormone pregnancy tests,
(b) sodium valproate, and
(c) pelvic mesh.”
Member’s explanatory statement
This new Clause would require the Secretary of State to create redress schemes for those who have already suffered avoidable harm related to the medicines and medical devices specified in the new Clause, and would thus implement one of the recommendations made in the report of the Independent Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Review.
