I think the surgeons should be made to put things right. Some of those women will have been cancer patients too.

agreed, was tending last week when this became more widespread on the news front that if someone had breast implants for aesthetic reasons as opposed to medical then the former should not be covered by the NHS..

but if its a health issue then it should be sorted..

everyday the NHS sorts people out for things which they have done to themselves, be that rock climbing, driving like a prat or countless other reasons..

If you pay for a service or goods and they are not fit for purpose surely they should be refunded or put right!

whoever put them in should be obliged to put things right and some compensation, then maybe they would be more careful next time.

"SHOULD these be replaced on the NHS free of charge !!"

its a difficult one

Should the NHS pick up the tab for private surgeons blunders?

Surely if the op is done private its upto the surgeon who did the op to correct it?

not really sure how it works to be honest

Well considering their work so far... no surprise there! If you took your car into the garage and it needed replacement parts and they proved faulty wouldnt the garage be expected to put right what had gone wrong?

Presuably anyone doing this kind of work needs public liability insurance as in other industries, so cost would be covered by the insurance.

I personaly think it is the people who sold you the boob job who should put it right, and they then claim of the people who sold them the implants.....unless that firm went bust of course , which is probably very convienient.

I wonder if any of the comestic surgeons go bust too....then start up another firm next month

The law being mostly logical, this is probably the case. It might be beneficial to urgent cases though if the Gvnt shelled out the cost to the NHS from a separate fund and then chased the money back from those responsible, with costs of course?

The NHS is already struggling to manage and it seems unfair that they should have to carry the costs of the mistakes of others.

Not all people who get implants are doing it for vanity reasons, and if they had the money and paid for it themselves without putting an extra strain on the NHS then I dont see why they cant have them replaced or removed if it is a risk to their health.

all surgeons are GMC registered so most of them also work for the nhs. I have worked for surgeons (and physicians) who bring their private patients to the nhs to jump queues and save money. some of these surgeons will probably offer removal or replacement on NHS anyway as courtesy. Either way the clinics will have insurance and therefore are duty bound to replace faulty implants. if PIP are out of business the clinics who used these implants will no doubt receive compensation through government anyway.

This is always a tricky one.

having over twenty five years experience in the NHS I know that quite often the NHS is left to pick up the pieces from Private work. Many is the time a patient undergoes surgery at a Private Hospital only for the patient to need intensive care treatment post surgery which is not available at said private clinic so patient rushed to local NHS hospital with ICU/ITU facilities.

That being said often the private work was performed by Doctors who also work in the NHS, this was one of the reasons why waiting lists exist (wait 6 months on NHS or pay me and I can do it next week )

I feel that all none vital treatment should be chargeable...only I cannot be the one to decide what is none vital. A boob job might seem like it falls into that category but if you have low self esteem due to boob size then this may be considered as vital treatment to some.

Not answered the question posed I know

If someone managed to beg, borrow and save enough money to pay to have them put in… they should beg, borrow and save to have them taken out… in fact they should have started planning the ‘exit strategy’ before they were put in. As far as I am aware, no implants come with a lifetime guarantee.

People get turned down for NHS treatment everyday because they are too fat, because they smoke, because the treatment is too expensive so we don’t offer it in this postcode…. so why should we have an all encompassing approach to clearing this mess up?

If I booked a weekend break at a spa, I wouldn’t book a single journey train ticket, go, enjoy the spa and then complain that someone else now has to get me home again and they have to pay for it. I got myself there for my pleasure… it’s up to me to get myself back.

No idea, I'm lost. Damn Sat nav!

I dont agree the Nhs should pay for private patients but the clinics they got them from should be removing them free ..if you bought any other prodouct that was faulty youd expect a refund so why not implants ?
