[The scandal, in which at least 2,400 people died, involved haemophiliacs and other patients being infected with hepatitis C and HIV from blood products in the 1970s and 1980s.
Details of the UK-wide inquiry have yet to be finalised, and consultations will take place with those affected on the best way to proceed.]


USA Prisoners sold their Infected blood for CASH
and worse even though some in UK control knew it was
infected blood they never told anyone getting the blood
so then if it was a infection
it could spring out across families.

What good is this?.... In all seriousness it smacks as a smokescreen for more pressing issues, the report will come back there was a lack of regulation and or screening and chalked down to some 70s mismanagement.

I don't think it's a smoke screen for other issues; I think it's an excuse to plaster newspaper front pages with negative NHS press and then leave the fact that it was 30/40 years ago to the article, which a huge chunk of people never actually fully read.

Ah you have a good point there too.

For the many still infected, Terminal
they want it.

Sure many who did this are no longer with us
but MP's in Parliament today
are part of this

About time. There are a couple of thousand families of people who've died from Hepatitis or AIDS waiting to hear how and why. Andy Burnham has been pushing for this for ages. Just like the Hillsborough people deserved closure, so do the families who suffered through this terrible episode. I see the mother of a seven year old who died of AIDS as a result of this negligence has welcomed the enquiry.

Agreed Livia. I can't imagine how it must have been to lose a child that way.

Indeed.

Its a ****ing disgrace really that things like this happen in the first place.Then the attempts at coverups make it even worse.

It's nothing like Hillsborough though, the blood just wasn't screened ..it wasn't practice to do so at the time. Would it really take a fill inquiry to examine why?
Are the sufferers of CJD going to be given answers too?
