GPS in England is to help NHS find more unmarried patients affected by contaminated blood scam.

It is believed that thousands of people were conveyed to hepatitis C virus through contaminated blood transfusions in the 1970s, 80s and 90s; Part of a scam that affected over 30,000 people in Britain.

Since June, a test will be offered to the patients who signed up for a GP practice, who had received blood transfusion before 1996, a test for Hepatitis C will be offered.

The BBC disclosed the scale of unspecified cases last year, as the virus has continued to identify people with life-threatening liver damage due to viruses.

Hepatitis C can now be treated by modern anti-viral drugs to eliminate the virus for most patients.

But if it becomes uncontrolled and uncontrolled, there may be no noticeable symptoms for some time and can infect the liver and cause severe damage, leaving the organ beyond repair.

The Morin Arkley, who died last year, was diagnosed with hepatitis C and cirrhosis of the liver in 2023, after more than 40 years he included several blood transfusions. He was on his medical record, but he was not told anyone in his GP or NHS that he could come in contact with the virus.

BBC News exposed its case as one of several people reduced the lack of testing after an infected blood scam.

This is one of the biggest treatment disasters in NHS history – 3,000 people who were infected with HIV and Hepatitis C after being given to contaminated blood products.

Many of the victims were hemophiliq, who were given blood products infected as part of their treatment.

Many thousands were given infections using accidents, emergency conditions or delivery after delivery.

In February 2024, Maurain died after five months of his diagnosis and 47 years later after blood transfusion was infected.

“The end was completely frightening, when she died she weighed less than four stones,” her daughter Victoria told the BBC.
