Latest news on PIP breast implants
Women concerned about French-made PIP breast implants can find all the latest NHS information about the issue on this page.
Worries about the implants have emerged since news of a major investigation into them in France was widely covered in the media in December 2011.
It is thought that around 40,000 women in the UK have the implants, with about 95% of them having been provided privately for purely cosmetic reasons.
