Hello Interloper!

Breaking down the figures we find that 2,860 women originally treated privately with PIPs have now been referred to NHS specialists by their GPs, (91 from the Transform Group, 477 from the Harley Medical Group and 2,292 from other private clinics to date). 1,140 of those women have had ultrasound scans to determine the current state of their implants. So far only 67 women have chosen to have their PIP implants removed, 12 having been performed already by the NHS. In total 522 women have so far completed the process involved with seeking help via the NHS, and the vast majority have in fact decided not to have their implants removed on the NHS; (bearing in mind that the NHS has not offered to replace in these cases where the original implantation was performed by a private clinic, this may have a bearing on the decisions made).
