Belfast Health Trust apologises to people affected by contaminated blood products in the 1970s and 1980s
Belfast Health Trust has apologised to people infected and affected by contaminated blood products.
"In the 1980s and 1990s stigma sounding HIV and HCV [Hepatitis C] was very real. Families could be ostracised with devastating consequences. "Whether it was in person or on a video-link, the evidence was heartbreaking. It was clear that there was a burning agony of loss across many, many years," he said.
"This commitment will not end with the final findings and recommendations of the inquiry, as these will help to inform and shape the delivery of healthcare in Northern Ireland in the future," the statement added.
