Haemophilia And Hepatitis C

EDM number 3 in 1995-96, proposed by Alfred Morris on 15/11/1995.

That this House calls on the Government to acknowledge that over 3,000 people with haemophilia have been infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) as a result of NHS treatment with contaminated blood products; recognises that over 50 people with haemophilia are now understood to have died from liver disease contracted as a result; and considers giving similar financial assistance to those infected with HCV, who currently receive no additional help, as for those infected in the same way with HIV who have been compensated by the Government.

This motion has been signed by a total of 255 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
