NHS scandals review: The healthcare system has a 'glacial' and 'defensive' response to concerns over treatments
"The totality of the available scientific evidence, however, does not support the existence of a causal relationship between the use of Primodos and adverse outcomes in pregnancy."We understand that the Cumberlege Report acknowledges that this is also the conclusion of detailed reviews by the UK and EU regulatory authorities. Bayer does not, therefore, believe that any form of ex gratia payment scheme is appropriate.
Sky News also questioned whether there was a misogynistic attitude within medical regulation, as all of these medical scandals involved women."Their worries have been dismissed. They have been told: 'Well, I'm sorry but it's all in your mind, it's to do with the menopause, just go away.'"So women have been very badly abused verbally by clinicians, who haven't taken them seriously. And that is unacceptable.
