House of Commons – Nov. 5, 2025

Sodium valproate and surgical mesh redress

Proposed Motion - 35 signatures

Content

That this House notes the second anniversary of the Patient Safety Commissioner formally submitting Ministerial Advice to the Department of Health and Social Care on options to deliver essential redress for the victims of sodium valproate and surgical mesh; further notes that whilst the advice was given to the previous Government, which failed to act, it is disappointing that, two years later, patients and victims are still awaiting a formal response from the current Government; acknowledges the victims and families affected by these harms have already endured years of suffering, campaigning, and uncertainty; feels that the need for timely action has never been greater; and calls on the Government to establish a clear timeline for the formal response to the Patient Safety Commissioner’s advice and demonstrate the political will necessary to implement a scheme of redress without further delay.
