Continuing Calls to Dismiss Keogh Report





In March 2012 the all-party Health committee asked that : "All possible evidence, including patient-reported experiences, must be gathered and analysed in order to inform the policy response to this issue." 


Today, 02/07/12 the Health Committee published the findings from the webforum set up to collect evidence from PiP victims.  We are exceedingly grateful to all the women that contributed, but the fact remains the forum was only open for a month and fewer than 1% of the women affected by PiP Implants had even seen it before it was closed for comment. The Health Committee have published figures showing how many VIEWs the page had on 24 June 2012 a month after closure. Sadly, the information collected has not been included in the findings of the Keogh report (18/06/2012) which says: patient reported symptoms "not helpful" and that PiP implants not toxic, not harmful and not connected to cancer.


We have already made a strong challenge to the INTEGRITY and QUALITY of the science of the assumptions made and the data published by Keogh!


And we again call on the Health Committee to dismiss the final Keogh Expert Group Report as 'Irresponsible, incomplete and inadequate".


We are also doing what we can to collect patient testimonies on our Blog (see post below). 
If you haven,t already done so ... please join in!
