📣 UK Gov’s claims about PIP gel safety helped the defence of the man who manufactured fraudulent PIP implants. While I testified on behalf of women, the UK authorities’ safety position supported Mas’s claim that his implants had not harmed patients.
This is why our demand for a statutory #publicinquiry must examine the gov decisions & reassurances that shaped women’s exposure, access to care and pursuit of justice.

A big day for me ❤️
My story came out in @Fabulousmag today, and I'm feeling pretty bloody proud!
Grateful to be cancer-free, grateful for the life I've built and grateful to finally tell my story in my own words.
Pick up The Sun on Sunday and have a read. Thank you for all the love! ❤️
Dear @MegMathews thank you for speaking out. 💛 Your story creates an important opportunity to explain why removing #PIPimplants cannot be treated as the end of women’s healthcare needs. We are campaigning for a Public Inquiry & Full clinical reset to help those affected. We would 💛 your support. Jan
⭕️ The PIP scandal did not end when the fraudulent implants were withdrawn. The subsequent conduct of the State requires independent examination: what ministers & regulators knew, what evidence they considered, what information they withheld, what clinical protection they provided, and why successive administrations have continued to rely on conclusions reached in 2012. @andyburnham@DianaJohnsonMP@zubirahmed@JamesFrith@oliviabaileymp@PutneyFleur #PIPaction #PIPcrimes #WomensHealthMatters #HILLSBOROUGH

⭕️ Responding to 22 Oct question by @PutneyFleur, @alancampbellmp cited “2 INDEPENDENT REVIEWS”.
We say: 2 reports from 2012. Independent of whom?
One led by a serving Government minister. The other by the NHS Medical Director.
WHERE IS THE INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION?
@andyburnham this is why we need #HillsboroughLaw 💛 #PublicInquiry #PublicAccountability #FullClinicalReset #PIPimplants #WomensHealthMatters
Researchers implanted polypropylene prolapse mesh into rats then used human umbilical-cord cells to modify the body's response to the plastic. If the body reacts badly enough to require such research why are we implanting plastic mesh into women at all?
