HCF calls for independent regulator of medical devices
6 December 2021 - Health insurer HCF has raised concerns that some doctors may be deciding what device to implant in patients based on commercial factors rather than clinical evidence.
HCF chief executive Sheena Jack has called for the creation of an independent regulator of medical devices that could compare the clinical efficacy of different brands of prostheses to combat the problem.
