NHS Blood and Transplant Statement on the Infected Blood Inquiry report
“As part of our evidence to the Inquiry, we apologised unreservedly for any respect in which the blood services of the past, or the blood they supplied, was the cause of suffering to any person. We are sorry for the delay in introducing hepatitis C screening and the delay to beginning the hepatitis C virus look back to find people who had been infected. We are sorry for not introducing better donor screening for HIV and that blood services continued to collect blood from prisoners until 1984.
This Inquiry is incredibly important to help us all learn from the past. Modern safety standards are rigorous and significant improvements have been made since these tragic events.
We put patient and donor safety at the heart of everything we do, and the UK now has one of the safest blood services in the world. We will continue to learn and improve.”
