To ask the Scottish Executive what discussions it has had with the NHS regarding PIP breast implants.

The answer

Answered by Nicola Sturgeon on 7 Feb 2012 · 12 days after it was lodged, on time

My officials have written to NHS boards to confirm the clinical care to be provided by NHSScotland to women with PIP silicone breast implants.
They have also been in contact with NHS boards to confirm that PIP silicone breast implants have not been used by NHSScotland and more recently to ask NHS boards if they have completed re-checking their patient records to confirm that.
