HC Deb 22 January 1991 vol 184 c161W
Mr. Ashley

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many claims for compensation have been received by his Department from those, other than haemophiliacs, with an HIV infection obtained from a national health service blood transfusion; and what has been the response to such claims.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

We are not aware that writs have been served on the Department of Health by individuals infected with HIV through national health service blood transfusions. Some writs have been served on health authorities.
