APPG History

Written by Joe Sousek, March 11, 2026

The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Haemophilia and Contaminated Blood has campaigned for many years for people living with bleeding disorders and those infected or affected by contaminated blood. The APPG was co-chaired by Diana Johnson MP and Sir Peter Bottomley MP until 2024, when this role was passed over to Clive Efford MP and Julian Lewis MP.
