Experts

You are not alone in your concerns about PIP Implants.  We know they are a serious health risk for women.

Some medical experts give their opinions:

“Dr Kirwan has little but scorn for the way the government has responded. ‘For some reason, the government decided that this was a moral failing on the part of the physicians using implants – which is non sequitur, as the NHS had used them, too – and they had been freely and legally available.  It is very sad our government is so reluctant to take the blame. We depend on the government for analysing and certifying many things that are sold and if we can’t depend on it for this it is a serious failing.  Even if it was an honest mistake, it was a mistake and should be put right. This is a health crisis and the government is pussyfooting around with select committees to justify a conclusion that it has already reached.’ To him, the issue is very simple. ‘If it’s industrial silicone, and you don’t know what the potential risks are, it has to come out.’”
