Lord Morris of Manchester

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by the Lord Warner on 6 October (WA 42), whether they will take steps to establish at the earliest possible date the number of haemophilia patients who have been informed by the National Health Service that blood products from donors diagnosed with vCJD were used in their treatment. [HL4697]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department of Health (Lord Warner)

We do not have any plans to collect this information. Any such collection would raise difficult issues over patient confidentiality.
