National Infected Blood Inquiry
The Inquiry was set up to examine why men, women and children in the UK were given infected blood and/or infected blood products; the impact on their families; how the authorities (including government) responded; the nature of any support provided following infection; questions of consent; and whether there was a cover-up. 





The Inquiry is not subject to the Freedom of Information Act 2000 but has been added to this site because it was established by the Government to carry out a public function.


The inquiry chair has stated: "trust in the work of the Inquiry can only be achieved through transparency".*
