Description
This letter is to provide boards and general practitioners with key information in relation to the testing of the very small number of individuals who may have been exposed to Hepatitis C via blood or blood products prior to 1991 and have not already been tested. This is in line with the recommendation of the Penrose Inquiry, which was published on 25 March 2015.
