Listen Later

Thousands of people died after being given infected blood transfusions by the NHS. 
  
They were people with haemophilia, women giving birth, and cancer patients who died after contracting HIV or Hepatitis C from infected blood. 
  
An inquiry has been studying millions of pages of evidence from hundreds of sources and witnesses for six years.
