No guilt

WHO warned of the risks because the NHS was buying blood from high risk paid donors in US - prisoners, drug addicts & sex workers.  A family friend, Edward Priestley of Yorkshire, developed aplastic anaemia (bone marrow destruction) from workplace toxic chemicals, & caught hepatitis C from an NHS blood transfusion in 1986.  It ended to his successful career & his cycling.  Scotland realised quite quickly about the contamination & stopped buying US blood, but the NHS in England continued to buy infected blood.  He was given just 6 months to live but developed a “Survival Guide” for anyone to read free of charge & his blood count is now normal.  Visit Edward’s website:  www.medicineandillness.com   But his pain & disability from treatment side-effects remain.  Anita Roddick “The Body Shop” founder was given an infected blood transfusion during childbirth & later died from hepatitis C.    

Daily Telegraph 24.9.18 “Ministers broke blood scandal fees pledge, say victims.”  This reports that Des Collins of Collins Solicitors is worried that the money pledged by ministers has not yet been received by victims’ lawyers to fight their cases.  He says this would be unjust as the authorities have “very deep pockets” whereas because of ill health, most of the victims have little money.
