Contaminated Blood

Proceeding contribution from Jenny Willott (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 January 2015. It occurred during Backbench debate on Contaminated Blood.

Does my right hon. Friend share my concern that in cases where haemophilia is passed down through the generations, entire families have been affected by this terrible scandal? The Lewis family in my constituency is one such example. Hayden Lewis tragically passed away. His brother was also infected and has also since died. Hayden infected his wife Gaynor with HIV before he was diagnosed, which will have an impact down the generations. That is why these families deserve far, far better treatment than they have so far received.
