Request Summary: Infected Blood
Request Category: Media
| Question Number 1: How many patients within the trust have been infected by NHS blood, blood products or tissue contaminated with HIV or hepatitis C or have developed a chronic infection from blood contaminated with hepatitis B? 1a) Of those, how many have died in the last 5 years ? Broken down by financial years between April 6 - April 5 (2019/2020, 2020/21, 2021/22, 2022/23, 2023/24) 1b) Of those, how many are still living and under the care of the trust? 1c) Of those living, what are the ages, ethnicity, gender of the patients? | |
| Answer To Question 1: Information Services are unable to identify any patients who have received infected blood products because these would be recorded as complication codes. Complication codes are not unique to individual conditions so unfortunately we can’t get the information required in this case without manual auditing of case notes. Sexual Health response: Less than 5 patients receiving care with us for HIV acquired via this route. We are unable to provide further demographic data as this would risk patient identification. Pathology Services response - This information is not held by the department and are unable to add any more information than Information Services (IS) | |
