IMB says clinic misled it about patient contact
About 1,500 Irishwomen received the French-made Poly Implant Prothese (PIP) implants, which were withdrawn from use last year amid concerns they were prone to rupturing and leaking an inferior grade silicone.
In a statement issued last night, the IMB said the Harley Medical Group provided the IMB with detailed written confirmation on two separate occasions in November 2010 that they had written to all its Irish patients implanted with the PIP breast implants.
