ITV to make drama about contaminated blood scandal

ITV has announced plans to produce a drama series based on the infamous contaminated blood scandal that rocked the UK in the 1970s and 1980s.

The scandal involved thousands of people with haemophilia being infected with HIV and Hepatitis C after being treated with contaminated blood products from the NHS.

The drama will explore the devastating impact the scandal had on those affected, their families, and the wider healthcare system. It will shed light on the negligence and cover-ups that allowed the contamination to occur, as well as the long-lasting repercussions for those involved.

ITV has not yet announced a release date for the drama, but it is expected to be a powerful and thought-provoking series that will bring a dark chapter of UK medical history to light.
