Infected Blood Campaigners: Seeking Justice for Contaminated Blood Victims | Pride Of Britain 2024

Andy Evans, Jason Evans & Michelle Tolley have tirelessly campaigned and fought on behalf of relatives and victims of the biggest scandal in NHS history. In the 1970s and 1980s, more than 30,000 people in Britain were infected with HIV and Hepatitis C after being treated with contaminated blood and blood products. Around 3,000 have died. Many were infected through blood transfusions after surgery or childbirth. Around 1,250 people, including 380 children, were infected with both HIV and Hepatitis C through Factor concentrates, clotting agents used to treat haemophiliacs. Around 80% of these later died of AIDS-related illnesses. Some adults and children were used as subjects of medical trials, often without consent, to establish whether heating donated blood removed infection. Victims were repeatedly blocked in their search for answers, and this year the official inquiry not only confirmed catastrophic failures in care, but also a cover-up. Inquiry chair Sir Brian Langstaff said there had been a lack of openness and “downright deception”.
