This is a group of men and families whos life as been affected by either bad blood transfusions of factor 8 injections.
It costs nothing to add support for a public inquiry into why the goverment allowed this to happen and left families without a dad and parent to lose children, Men to lose thier wives. Over 2,000 were infected of which less than 400 now survive.
Please read the site and if you feel it appropriate sign the petion above.

    sorry to bump this but the count is now 627 on the petition and it would be great to get it to 1000.
    Could you all ask your friends and family to sign it and then hopefully get a public inquiry into how this happened and just maybe stop the next great NHS bungle
    Also if you watch the http://www.factor8movie.com/main.html you will see how the gov at the time knowingly brought in Fctor from the US knowing it was contaminated and used it when we had a good clean supply right here in the UK
    Again Thank you

    Its been announced there will be a public enquiry http://www.taintedblood.info/blog.php?mode=read&thread_id=151&topic_id=13

    The men have won a huge victory lets hope now the truth will come out.
    They ahve fought hard and found documents that point to the fact they were used without their knowledge for testing the saftey of the factor 8.

    Also The Department of Health accidentally lost or destroyed a number documents relating to this affair and have been incredibly obstructive in the past. Now that many of these documents have resurfaced, there is genuine chance that the truth will finally be known

    Thank you to everyone who signed and helped
