But it's only part of the argumenr, because the question of whether the NHS should remove the dodgy implants leaves out the role of the private cosmetic surgery industry, which has made good money out of selling the implants, and now seems to be incapable of supplying solid information about whether their removal will do more or less harm than leaving them in.
I say 'selling' because - well, you don't need to hear the arguments about how profitable it is to make women dissatisfied with their bodies. They are meeting a 'need' which only exists because they (and their allies) have created it. But if this were legally treated as a sale of goods, they'd be liable for selling something which was not fit for its purpose.
So I'd like to see them forced to help pick up the pieces...
