A former Newcastle University student given hepatitis C through NHS blood has told an inquiry he wants to see three key improvements to how the NHS works.
Andrew Bragg - who has previously told the Infected Blood Inquiry how his experience with the NHS makes him doubt its commitment to learn from mistakes - gave an oral closing statement this week. Mr Bragg, a Newcastle University graduate and chemical engineer who worked for ICI in the North East, suffered a motorcycle crash in Norway in 1986 following his graduation.
He underwent extensive surgery in Norway, but following further procedures in the UK - in Blackburn and Liverpool - he contracted hepatitis C from a blood transfusion. He was not diagnosed for more than a decade.
