Overview

• The Patient Safety Commissioner's report highlights the need for redress for victims of sodium valproate and vaginal mesh but excludes Primodos victims.
• Families affected by Primodos, a hormone pregnancy test linked to birth defects, express feelings of betrayal by health authorities.
• Labour MP Yasmin Qureshi criticizes the government for sidelining Primodos families from the compensation report.
• The report suggests an interim financial redress scheme, with initial payments of £25,000 for mesh victims, but no provision for Primodos victims.
• Advocates for Primodos victims, who have been campaigning since the 1960s and 70s, receive no positive financial redress news in the report.
