6:21Now PlayingSky News follows the course of the infected blood scandal from its source in the early 1970s - via warnings, missed opportunities, delays, possible cover-ups - to the truth about the worst treatment scandal in NHS history.
We speak with one of the few surviving haemophilia doctors practicing at the time, who describes being "seriously misinformed" about the risk versus benefits of new treatments.
We also spoke with one haemophiliac victim unknowingly infected as a child with HIV and HepC.
