Chris Seeks Reconsideration of Redress Agency for Pharmaceutical Injury
Christopher Chope Conservative, Christchurch
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will reconsider the recommendation of the 2020 report of the Independent Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Review that an independent Redress Agency be set up to adjudicate on claims from patients arising from pharmaceutical injury.
Maria Caulfield The Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Health and Social Care, Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for International Trade) (Minister for Women)
The Government’s response to the Independent Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Review did not accept the recommendation to establish a redress agency. It is already possible for the Government and others to provide redress for specific issues, where that is considered necessary. We are prioritising the improvement of safety in medicines and medical devices, setting high standards for industry to market and manufacture products with the aim of reducing harm in the future.
