  The fact that an implant was done privately for reasons of vanity is no reason for the NHS to turn such patients away. If an implant bursts it must be attended to straight away. If the clinic that fitted it is unable or unwilling to replace it without charge, the NHS should step in and do it, and send the bill to the private clinic which originally fitted the faulty implant. Whether the clinic then has a claim against the manufacturer or supplier of the implant is a separate matter.
  
  The important thing is that these poor ladies get sorted out ASAP, either privately or by the NHS, and we argue about who pays later.
  
  All clinics have professional indemnity insurance which should cover most of the costs. Those who knowingly implanted substandard material should be named and shamed.
