Evidence to the Infected Blood Inquiry

Over two days, 20-21 October 2020, Professor Lee gave evidence in person to the Infected Blood Inquiry. On the second day of her evidence, whilst addressing questions about an Oral History Transcript (THOM0000001), Lee told the inquiry that what she did not "like about the idea of compensation", was that "it suggests liability", but went on to qualify that she believed those who were providing treatment at the time were "doing their best".
