The Western Mail has reported on Hugh James' Partner Mark
Harvey’s call for the extensive testing of PIP implants to be
speeded up as a matter of urgency. Renowned campaigning lawyer Mark
Harvey is acting for over 140 women with PIP implants.
The MHRA has announced
that its independent UK tests found no evidence of chemical
toxicity or the implants potentially causing cancer to
victims. However, the MHRA has also admitted to its testing
not being “as extensive” as the tests being carried out in
France. The MHRA has advised women with any concerns over
their PIP implants to speak to their implanting surgeon. Mr Harvey
is now calling on both the French and UK licensing authorities to
speed up their testing as a matter of urgency and also for all
the clinics who were involved in the implantation of these
prostheses to cooperate with Hugh James in
providing his clients with urgent remedial treatment wherever
it is needed.
