Infected Blood Inquiry: information and support

The final report of the Infected Blood Inquiry, led by Sir Brian Langstaff KC, has now been published.   This independent public statutory inquiry was established to examine the circumstances in which men, women and children treated by national health services in the United Kingdom were given infected blood and infected blood products, in particular since 1970.

You can read the report on the Inquiry website.

Our thoughts are foremost with those patients who were given infected blood and blood products, and their families and the wider community who have been impacted.

We recognise that the report will cause concern for many people, including worries about their own health, and patients who have been treated at York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals may have questions and require support.

The following Q&A will help signpost you to information and support.

Help us keep everyone safe this winter

We’re asking everyone to please help protect our patients, visitors and employees during the winter months.

If you’re feeling unwell, please don’t visit our hospitals - even for appointments or to see loved ones, unless it’s in exceptional circumstances such as end-of-life care or maternity.

Colds, flu, Covid and norovirus (sickness and diarrhoea) can spread easily and cause serious illness in vulnerable patients.

Please only come in once you’ve been free of symptoms for at least 48 hours.

When you do visit:

 Thank you for helping us keep everyone safe this winter.
