Mum did not require blood transfusion at hospital which led to hepatitis

A mum who contracted hepatitis C from a tainted blood transfusion at a hospital has spoken out about her desire "for people to be held accountable".

The woman, who remains anonymous but is known as Sarah, said that how, like other victims of the contaminated blood scandal, the consequences of being given a potentially fatal virus by the NHS had impacted her throughout her life.

Sarah has had a variety of treatments for hepatitis C, she described some of the earliest as "deeply unpleasant", and she has been living with poor health for more than 25 years, Chronicle Live writes.
