Government Faces Backlash Over Exclusion of Primodos Victims from Redress Report

A new report calls for compensation for victims of health scandals, but Primodos families feel 'left out in the cold' as they are not included.

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.
