Clare and the group are calling for a public inquiry after ITV’s investigation exposed the pregnancy drug’s link to cancer. When interviewed by ITV's Sarah Corker, she said:
"I think the government are to blame here. This has been a regulatory failure at the highest level. This was a drug that was allowed to be manufactured at will and this was a drug that was never regulated."
More than 300 campaigners have formed DES Justice UK and will be represented on a pro bono basis by Clare. This commitment is a powerful reminder of how legal professionals can use their expertise to make a positive difference and change lives.
