To think this is shocking but too late to fix?

I just saw this ITV news report on a drug given to post-partum women in the 70s that turned out to cause cancer, and how they don't have the documentation to prove one way or the other whether it was actually supposed to be withdrawn at the time or not, or whether they acted quickly enough, and the fact there's apparently no real way to trace the women affected, and think that it's probably just too late to fix this?
Is there a way the affected women can be found after all these years? What can actually be done to help them? The MHRA sound so pessimistic in the text at the end of the video. Women just being dismissed year after year about a women's health problem and now too much time has passed. But they managed to get to the bottom of the infected blood scandal eventually so maybe there's hope? IDK what does everyone think?

Thank you for posting this.
I had breast cancer in 2020 no one in our family as far as I know have ever had it.

Both my children were premature and I remember being given some tablets to stop my milk. But of course I can't remember the name.
I'm sure it is too late to do anything.

Very similar was the drug given to pregnant women in the 60s. Caused sone of the babies to get cancer. Luckily, I’m ok so far.
