vCJD: Blood

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will list the batches of blood products administered to patients in the UK that are known to be at risk from vCJD contamination; and if she will make a statement.
Answer

In September 2004 selected groups of patients were informed about the results of a risk assessment exercise for blood plasma products, undertaken by the Health Protection Agency. As part of this exercise, the batch numbers for plasma products implicated with variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease were sent to national health service trusts, primary care trusts and to the United Kingdom Haemophilia Centre Doctors Organisation.
