Della: Bloody lies – the infected blood scandal

Why were thousands of patients given infected blood products from the NHS in the UK during the 1970s and 80s? 

Decades after the scandal, an ongoing public inquiry is finally searching for answers. Speaking to Rachel from her home, Della shares her emotional story of losing her son, and describes the brave battles she fought to protect him from those who were meant to be managing his care. 

When a trusted institution betrays us, we need to make our voices heard.
