Contaminated-blood inquiry: Former Health Minister Clarke denies responsibility

Contaminated-blood inquiry: Former Health Minister Clarke denies responsibility Lord Clarke has told an inquiry he was "not responsible" for blood products during his time as health minister.

About 3,000 people died after being given blood products containing HIV and hepatitis C in the 1970s and 1980s.

And Lord Clarke - Conservative Health Minister 1982-85 and Health Secretary 1988-90 - is the first senior health minister from the time to testify during the inquiry into the scandal. BBC News
