Devolved governments are calling on the UK to provide support for people affected by harm linked to the epilepsy drug valproate, with concerns stretching back to pregnancies dating to the 1970s. The reports say thousands of babies are thought to have been harmed as a result of exposure during pregnancy.
Outlets frame the issue as a coordinated devolved response to seek assistance for victims. WalesOnline leads with devolved governments’ call for support and focuses on the scale of potential harm over decades. The Evening Standard presents the same broader demand in its headline and summary, emphasising devolved nations pressing the UK for support. The Belfast Telegraph’s summary is not provided, but its title mirrors the same thrust.
