Senior doctors say breast implants should carry warning of a small but serious cancer risk

Consumer affairs programme. Senior doctors say breast implants should carry warning of a small but serious cancer risk.

Breast implants in France carry a warning about the link between silicone implants and a rare type of cancer - anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). Now senior doctors here are calling for a similar warning. We talk to women who've had the cancer and surgeons who put in implants for reconstructive and cosmetic reasons. 

It's biggest consumer decision of our lives - Britain leaving the European Union. We talk to Martin Lewis of MoneySavingExpert and economist Ruth Lea about the potential impact on UK consumers? Petrol prices could rise shortly. What other products could become more expensive? Will some prices come down? Are there advantages to look forward to? 

We investigate complaints about a matchmaking service that leaves customers with no dates. How much can you expect from a dating service and who can you complain to when things go wrong?

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
