Cumbrian infected blood victim clear there was ‘cover-up’

A man who was infected with contaminated blood in the 1980s says he had long been certain the scandal was covered up.

Stuart Hall, from Stainburn in Cumbria, contracted hepatitis C from a blood transfusion needed to treat leukaemia.

He was one of 30,000 people – of whom about 3,000 have died – who contracted HIV or hepatitis from blood products used between 1970 and 1991.

Mr Hall said he was “not surprised in the scathing nature” of the report, external from the Infected Blood Inquiry, which was released on Monday.
