The All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Haemophilia and Contaminated Blood

About

The purpose of the APPG is to promote awareness of, and campaign for, people with haemophilia and other bleeding disorders and people infected with blood-borne viruses due to contaminated blood and blood products used in their healthcare treatment. 

The group meets regularly to get updates on developments in bleeding disorder care and treatment and on implementing the recommendations of the Infected Blood Inquiry, including a full and fair compensation scheme. It seeks to represent the needs of these communities in Parliament and in engagement with government, government bodies and the NHS.
