PIP breast implant scandal continues to be debated

The Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) recently issued a statement which calls for all women affected by the PIP breast implant scandal to have them removed upon request.
The advice contradicts guidance given by the UK Government, which states that the PIP implant poses no risk and should only be removed if a rupture is found. The RCS statement insists that all patients should have access to an assessment and be given the opportunity to have the implants removed upon requests. It also criticised private clinics by saying they “have an ethical and moral duty of care to offer patients treatment without charge”.
The statement follows a report issued in the Lancet medical journal which discusses how Brian Toft, Professor of patient safety at Coventry University had last year warned ministers of short comings in the regulatory process for approving medical products in the UK and Europe.
The PIP scandal has triggered the Health Secretary, Andrew Lansley to issue a review of the regulatory system in the UK.

    Unlike saline breast implants, which are filled with saline after insertion in the body, the silicone breast implants are pre-filled with silicone. Therefore, silicone breast implants, especially the cohesive gel, memory gel, "Gummy Bear," and the contour profile gel implants, require a larger incision for the insertion of the implant.

    Well, however PIP breast implant is is free but in cases if any rupture is found it should be removed if the patient is agree and that is free of cost as it is the responsibility of the surgeon or clinic.
