The British Blood Scandal: Poisoned At School | Preview (ITV1)

Brand-new documentary revealing the devastating truth behind the infected blood scandal of the 1970s and 1980s.

The scandal saw over 30,000 people infected with HIV and Hepatitis C after being given contaminated blood products and blood transfusions - this neg ligence and the subsequent cover-up became known as the worst medical disaster in NHS history.

The documentary centres on the tragic personal stories of haemophiliac children at the Lord Mayor Treloar School in Hampshire who were sent to the specialist boarding school with the promise of a ‘normal childhood’, but instead became victims of secret medical research which left many of them with hepatitis and HIV.

This film follows the stories of the few remaining survivors as they fight for truth and justice.

The British Blood Scandal: Poisoned At School airs Tuesday 20th May at 9pm on ITV1.
