The Department of Health (UK) and the MHRA have issued a statement after publishing the final testing results for PIP breast implants. 
 
They said, "It has been a worrying time for women affected by the PIP scare. We hope it's a small comfort to women and their families to learn that the experts have examined all the available evidence and concluded that the silicone contained in PIP breast implants does not pose a risk to human health.”
 
The MHRA's website hosts details of the toxicology testing and collection of clinical findings on removal of the implant and a final expert report on PIP breast implants (the latter links to the DH website).
