'˜Infected blood product cost my husband his last years'
The family of a man who lost his last years to hepatitis C has welcomed a government inquiry into infected blood products.
Christopher James from Oving died ten years ago. He had suffered a hepatitis-related bleed on the brain that left him unable to read, write or talk for the last five years of his life.
He had been one of a reported 3,891 people said to have been infected after being given imported Factor VIII, a form of blood coagulant, to treat haemophilia in the 1980s.
