Legal submissions to the ongoing Infected Blood Inquiry have highlighted the "astonishing" work of longstanding campaigners like Jesmond's Carol Grayson.
The submission from law firm Milners, which represents Carol and a number of other victims of the scandal, feature the legal team's formal final position on the inquiry and what it believes chair Sir Brian Langstaff should take into account. Others to submit lengthy legal documents include the Department of Health and Social Care.
The inquiry - set to conclude later in 2023 - has been investigating the circumstances which led to thousands of haemophiliacs being infected with lethal viruses like hepatitis C and HIV due to NHS treatment. Many others were infected by contaminated blood transfusions in what's often called the NHS's biggest ever treatment disaster.
