Women missing from breast implant register About one in three NHS clinics and one in four private ones offering breast implant surgery in England have not submitted any patient data to a national safety registry.
NHS Digital set up the service in 2016 after the PIP (Poly Implant Prothese) breast implants scandal.
Poor record-keeping at the time of the scandal meant many of the thousands of women affected were unable to find out if they had been given faulty implants.
The register is non-compulsory. BBC News
