Exclusive: Royal College launches investigation into its failure to take part in #Cumberlege inquiry https://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/cumberlege-inquiry-royal-college-paediatrics-midwives-nhs-valproate-mesh-a9611926.html #FirstDoNoHarm
@RCPCHtweets said: "We would like to apologise to patients, their families and to Baroness Cumberlege and her team. We're investigating why we didn't submit evidence to this important report at the time as it would have been entirely appropriate for us to respond."
@RCPLondon said it would've responded to #Cumberlege had it known the inquiry would look at wider medicine and medical device regulation.
Hhhmm. TOR sent to RCP in 2018 made clear this was an area of interest for the inquiry.

And lastly @MidwivesRCM told me while midwives have a responsibility to advocate for women...those taking sodium valproate tend to be under MDT care.
I find these responses quite staggering myself. #Cumberlege #FirstDoNoHarm

These were not the only bodies that didn't bother responding to #Cumberlege Particularly struck by the @The_HCPC and the @EMA_News absence
