The government should consider 'redress' for the victims of pregnancy test drug Primodos, Theresa May has told Sky News.

In an exclusive interview, the former prime minister heavily criticised the health regulation system that also allowed people to suffer with another drug, sodium valproate, and the medical product, vaginal mesh.

Primodos - packed with hormones - was given to women in the 1960s and 1970s.

There has been a 40-year campaign for recognition of its potential dangers.
