Access to Redress Schemes

Proceeding contribution from Sharon Hodgson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 18 April 2024. It occurred during Backbench debate on Access to Redress Schemes.

On whether people survive to get justice, I draw attention to Baroness Cumberlege’s “First Do No Harm” report on the harm caused by mesh, sodium valproate and Primodos. A lot of those victims are already dying. My mam is one of the victims of mesh. She will be 80 in January, and I hope that she lives to see some compensation and redress. Does my hon. Friend agree that these things really have to be sped up, because it is not fair? When people have been harmed, in this case by the state through medical interventions, redress should be forthcoming quickly.
