To ask the Secretary of State for Health when she last had discussions with the Food and Drug Administration in the United States of America on the subject of faulty medical devices; and which devices were discussed.

No formal discussions have been held with the Food and Drug Administration in the United States of America on the subject of faulty medical devices. No central record is kept of the frequent informal contacts which are made about a variety of subjects associated with a wide range of medical devices.
