Charles Kennedy (Ross, Skye & Lochaber, Liberal Democrat)
To ask the Secretary of State for Health pursuant to the answer of 14 October 2009, Official Report, column 900W, on haemophilia, what assessment his Department has made of the pathogenic effect of multiple virus exposure on haemophiliacs; and if he will make a statement.
Gillian Merron (Minister of State (Public Health), Department of Health; Lincoln, Labour)
The Department has made no such assessment. However, the UK Haemophilia Centre Doctors Organisation ensures that all relevant tests and assessment for transfusion-transmitted infections are offered to haemophilia patients.
