Hepatitis
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Health whether his Department has undertaken an audit of or research on the health of hepatitis C patients after they have been classed as natural clearers.
- Answer
-
As part of the recent 'Review of the support available to individuals infected with hepatitis C and/or HIV by NHS supplied blood transfusions or blood products and their dependants', an expert scientific review of the evidence base on the spectrum and impact of disease associated with hepatitis C infection was undertaken. The issue of patients who clear the virus, either naturally or following treatment, was carefully considered. The group's report is at annex 4 of the review report. A copy of the review report has already been placed in the Library, and a copy of the minutes of the group's meeting has been placed in the Library. The Department has not commissioned any research on this issue.
