Byline: GEORGE ON the news we heard how people infected by imported contaminated blood products have taken legal proceedings against the NHS.
This blood and other blood products were used during operations in the UK and given to haemophiliacs to help their blood to clot and stop the risk of bleeding following minor bumps and bruises and full scale surgery.
Because of a shortage of blood products here, the NHS bought much of its stock from US suppliers whose donors, including prisoners and other groups at high risk of infection, had been paid for their blood.
