From speech
Q8. Yesterday, at an event here in Parliament, I spoke to women whose children suffered avoidable harm after they continued taking the epilepsy drug sodium valproate during pregnancy. Doctors knew the risks and patients were not informed, and that has had devastating consequences. I am sure that the Prime Minister would agree that the fact that a Government Department commissioned a report looking at how to provide a redress scheme raised an expectation that one was on the horizon. To then not introduce such a scheme would be unbelievably cruel. When will this Government respond to the Hughes report and finally establish a redress scheme for the families?
