Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:30 pm on 7 February 2017.
I thank the First Minister for that response. Two weeks ago, there was cross-party support here in the Assembly for a motion calling on the UK Government to initiate a statutory public inquiry into the scandal of people with haemophilia who were given contaminated blood in the 1970s and the 1980s, which, of course, has resulted in the death of 70 people from Wales, and many more people are still living with HIV, hepatitis C and liver disease. Will the First Minister raise this directly with the Prime Minister, Theresa May, when he meets her next, so that the families of the 70 people who did die in Wales, and all those who were affected, can reach some closure.
