A mum who was given hepatitis C through a tainted blood transfusion at Newcastle General Hospital has spoken out about her desire "for people to be held accountable".
The woman - who remains anonymous but is known as Sarah - told ChronicleLive how, like other victims of the contaminated blood scandal, the consequences of being given a lethal virus by the NHS had reverberated throughout her life.
Sarah has had a series of different treatments for hep C, she described some of the earliest as "deeply unpleasant", and she's been living with poor health for more than 25 years.
