They're not fit for the purpous they were built for", statuary rights or something like that, isn't it?
Surly whoever did it should replace them, and claim it on their malpractice insurance?

yeah but only if the risk of failure is higher than the risk of an opperation

legally they are the same as any other 'vendor' yes.
They should replace them, but not the NHS. The NHS should just remove them, and I'm still pissed off that they will have to do this in some cases. Besides, smokers and drinkers pay their tax don't they. There isn't a titty tax.

I think the NHS should replace them if they were put in by the NHS,
You can only get plastic surgery and reconstruction on the NHS not cosmetic, so these women have had breast cancer or something not just wanted bigger boobs.

this would be true
were it not for the fact there isn't one single medical reason to replace them, it's total press scaremongering. And press scaremongering that started in France, let us not forget. A country where you are allowed to be registered with as many doctors as you like in case the one you usually use won't prescribe you enough shit to shut you up.

It's like asking Texas and Arizona to advise on liberal immigration lawmaking, really

I always thought it was up to where-ever they were purchased from. Part of the purchase was putting them in, so part of the purchase should be about replacing them...
... and the practice's insurance should cover it... if it was done on the NHS, then they should do it, if it was done on BUPA, then they should (etc).

But taking what Chomp said up there, if the risk of replacement is higher than not, then it shouldn't be done at all.

I was referring to people who had them done privately but want the NHS footing the bill

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 10 Jan 2012, 15:23, Reply)

I'm not 100% sure the NHS should foot the bill, completely unsure of that, but I'm pretty sure the person who got it done shouldn't.
Everything I'm saying is on the basis of it being safer to replace than to leave them in.... but I think it was the manufacturer's fuck up, they should pay for it.

PIP no longer exists so that can't happen

it's not safer to replace them than to leave them in
because ... here's the thing .. there's not even one tiny bit of evidence they cause harm.
