The final Infected Blood Inquiry report will be published on May 20.
The final report of the Infected Blood Inquiry will hopefully reveal who thought that the haemophilia community was “expendable” when they were given a contaminated blood product, a charity has said.
“Every story you hear has just the multiple layers of loss – the loss of the ability to have children, the loss of careers, having to give up careers to be carers, not getting married … just every normal stage of life was derailed.” Many patients welcomed this new treatment, which could be delivered by injection at home, as prior to its introduction patients required transfusions with plasma which had to be given in hospital.“There only needed one person with a virus to contaminate that whole pool of product, but they did it anyway.
“So, for our community of people with haemophilia and other bleeding disorders that were infected, many of whom have died, the families of the survivors, it will never end. Therefore, our support for that community will never end.Ms Burt said: “As Sir Brian Langstaff said, those failures – systemic, individual and organisational failures – will finally be exposed.”
