Delays in DePuy case in nobody’s interest

Some people have been left wheelchair-bound while actions over faulty prosthetics drag on, writes Ernest J Cantillon

BEFORE we take any action over the faulty DePuy hip implants, we have to get the patient’s medical records to see what happened in the lead-up to the insertion of the hip.

This is necessary to consider whether they needed the replacement at all. If it was necessary, then one has to look at what hip people got. Some people come to us thinking they have got a DePuy hip, when they don’t.
