of those victims have died, my father being one of them. only one family member remains alive today. the impact has been devastating. my father died in 1986, he was one of this the very earliest haemophiliacs to die from hiv and subsequently we have been losing family members right up until the last death in 2012, so it has been affecting our family for the best part of 30 years. every time a campaigner or one of the victims is a constant memory of what we have been through and i'm sure it is the same for all the community, notjust myself. i am the community, not “ust myself. i am so sorry to _ the community, not “ust myself. i am so sorry to hear — the community, notjust myself. i am so sorry to hear how— the community, notjust myself. i am so sorry to hear how it _ the community, notjust myself. i am so sorry to hear how it has affected you. what did you make of the statement today? we you. what did you make of the statement today? we welcomed the re ort, statement today? we welcomed the reort, a statement today? we welcomed the report. a very _ statement today? we welcomed the report, a very comprehensive - statement today? we welcomed the report, a very comprehensive reportl report, a very comprehensive report and we are very pleased that today children and parents will finally be
