ITV to Produce Drama on UK's Contaminated Blood Scandal

The series, penned by double-BAFTA winner Peter Moffat, aims to shed light on the 'biggest health scandal' in British history, involving thousands infected with HIV and hepatitis through contaminated blood.

ITV announces a new drama series focused on the contaminated blood scandal, following the success of its Post Office series.
The series will explore the impact on victims and their families, highlighting their decades-long battle for justice.
Around 30,000 people were infected with HIV and hepatitis C in the 1970s and 1980s through contaminated blood products.
The government has made interim compensation payments to about 4,000 victims and some bereaved partners, but a final decision on compensation awaits the inquiry's full findings.
The series aims to bring public attention to the scandal, with hopes that it won't take a TV drama airing for justice and compensation to be secured for the victims.
