Blood Scandal: 'We're the Last in the World to Sort This Problem Out'

It's been described as the worst treatment disaster in NHS history. And today, the Prime Minister will apologize to the tens of thousands of people given infected blood between the 1970s and 1991 and the families whose lives have been utterly devastated.

Sharron Davies' mother developed liver cancer in her 40s after being given contaminated blood during an operation to treat gallstones. Then she contracted Hepatitis C. Lauren Palmer was orphaned when her parents died from HIV eight days apart after her father was infected by contaminated blood. Jason Evans, says that he can't remember a time before the blood scandal, his first memories of his dad, Jonathan, were of him dying from AIDS in 1993.
