"The estimated 20,000 victims of valproate born to female users exist primarily because information has been consistently withheld since licensing in 1972. We see this latest revelation as further regulatory failure and evidence of harm" - @Emma4facs 6/6 thetimes.co.uk/article/3bde7β¦

The Sunday Times is campaigning for redress for the victims of the valproate scandal after women were not told the risks of the drug to their babies for decades. 20k children may have been left deformed or disabled. 3 babies a month are still being prescribed the drug. 5/6

Itβs not been βunderestimatedβ the regulators have known since licensing in 1973 the harm #valproate would cause to babies,yet they PURPOSELY hid this information & continued to do so until we @JanetWilliams99 @Infactuk started our campaign Itβs a Man made scandal @PJOnline_News

Clarity : We @JanetWilliams99 @Infactuk have NEVER called for #Valproate to be banned, and as evidenced in the meeting do share the same concerns of the 2 consultant prescribing @SudepAction
All regulatory decisions & responsibilities lie solely with @MHRAgovuk

π’ Proposed new policy changes on #valproate will greatly increase pressures on the NHS and social care, according to 11 leading UK epilepsy orgs. The coalition has written to sec of state @SteveBarclay seeking reassurances. sudep.org/article/public-staβ¦

Well done, Emm and Jan.
Thanks to all supportive Parliamentarians and @JuliaCumberlege
I do hope that @hormonepregtest will be invited to a separate hearing once the legal formalities are out of the way.
