No changes here! Corruption still rules at the MHRA!

This used to happen all the time : the MHRA blame 'the fraud' for their failings : could anything more have been done?  It took them nearly TWO YEARS to inform women with PIP of the ban, because according to them a 'knee-jerk reaction' was unnecessary... the press only took up the story when a French woman DIED with ruptured PIP.

Looks like they have a new guy in the job DR NEIL McGUIRE Clinical director for medical devices. No doubt his job is to write responses to bad press... and no doubt he has a template for that!

The PIP implants were fraudulently manufactured and the deceit was carefully managed so as to conceal the activity from the German authorities. Read more ;
