An Edinburgh woman left disabled after her mum took pregnancy drug Primodos before she was born has called on the government to give her the same financial support as Thalidomide victims.
Health Secretary Humza Yousaf last week announced lifetime funding for Thalidomide survivors. The measure extends a 2013 agreement which granted people £14.2million over 10 years to help meet their health and living costs.
Now campaigners are calling on Holyrood ministers to develop a similar scheme for Primodos. Women were given Primodos in the 1960s and 70s as a hormone pregnancy test drug in the form of two pills, which caused a period if they were not pregnant.
