46,000 | 332 | QUESTION:
The general public sessions would take place in
village halls and community centres and the like; i s
that correct?
ANSWER:
That was the usual arrangement, yes.
|
46,001 | 332 | QUESTION:
Prior to the new centre opening in 1985, were blood
donor sessions ever held in the old centre?
ANSWER:
I don't think so. I don't think there was a facili ty,
168 a room in the old Centre that would take it but, no ,
I don't recall it.
|
46,002 | 332 | QUESTION:
Then once you had the new Centre, is it right that
there were some blood donor sessions that together
place in the new Centre but it wasn't a major part of
the Centre's use?
ANSWER:
No, it wasn't. The drawing has been shown as a don or
facility, a donor room was given over to
plasmapheresis, so we al... |
46,003 | 332 | QUESTION:
In terms of the geographical reach of the donor
sessions, is it right that the sessions took place all
over the area but there were fewer sessions in Cumb ria
because of, I think, transport and road links?
ANSWER:
Yes, yes. The road link from Newcastle into the
Cumbria area, even to Carlisle, remained... |
46,004 | 332 | QUESTION:
You told us in your addendum statement that there w as
a satellite office in Middlesbrough, known as the
Teesside office. Did the donor sessions in that ar ea
take place at the Teesside office or was it a quest ion
of mobile questions going out from the Teesside
office?
ANSWER:
No, it was mobile sess... |
46,005 | 332 | QUESTION:
Then you told us in your main statement that you
thought there was an area just north of the Scottis h
border which was supplied by the Regional Transfusi on
Centre and you didn't recall any blood donor sessio ns
being held there but, in your addendum statement,
I think your recollection now is that you... |
46,006 | 332 | QUESTION:
Then, in terms of the general public sessions, were
they based upon donors being called up from the pan el
or were they drop-in sessions or was it a mixture o f
both?
ANSWER:
We called people to the general public sessions so
they were invited by letter. And so, you know, we had
statistics that showed... |
46,007 | 332 | QUESTION:
Then, if I can just ask you to look at one document
from 1988, NHBT0059596_001. So this is a meeting,
12 January 1988 at which you were present and this is
from the point in time at which you were a consulta nt
haematologist at the centre but not the director.
If we just go to page 5 and pick it up under... |
46,008 | 332 | QUESTION:
Do you know what consideration was given when the
general public sessions were being held to creating
opportunities for privacy, so that donors could spe ak
in confidence perhaps to the medical officer,
especially if they're being asked questions about
high-risk activities?
ANSWER:
No, it wasn't good. ... |
46,009 | 332 | QUESTION:
In terms of the workplace or industrial sessions on
which you've already told us the region was very
heavily reliant, was any consideration given to
concerns that a workplace donor might not be a trul y
voluntary donor because they may feel pressured to
give blood if their employers had arranged a sessio... |
46,010 | 332 | QUESTION:
Do you know whether, in the workplace sessions, aga in,
whether there were opportunities for donors to be a ble
to speak confidentially, again in the context of
discussions about high-risk activities in particula r,
it may be particularly problematic for a donor if
their colleagues are within earshot, t... |
46,011 | 332 | QUESTION:
Then I'm just going to ask you to look at couple of
the graphs you've exhibited to your statement on th e
donor numbers. If we start with WITN6935008, pleas e.
Oh no, sorry, my fault, Sully. I've given you
the wrong reference. WITN6935006, I meant to start
176 with, sorry.
So this gives an overall pi... |
46,012 | 332 | QUESTION:
Do you have any recollection as to what caused that
particular drop?
ANSWER:
Yes, I think there's another chart I've produced wh ich
shows employment rates. If you knew the north east at
that time, the number of shipyards closing down, yo u
know, steelworks closing down, steel fabricators, i t
was a ... |
46,013 | 332 | QUESTION:
Then I won't go to the charts but there are two cha rts
which look at registered donors and industrial dono rs
and then the employment rates, and for the transcri pt
they're WITN6935008 and WITN6935009.
Can I then ask you little about the process for
donor screening. I'm going to start by asking you to... |
46,014 | 332 | QUESTION:
Okay, let's try a different version. DHSC0046337.
Okay, so this is the 1985 version of the
"National Blood Transfusion Service Guidance for th e
Selection, Medical Examination and Care of Blood
Donors", and if we go over the page, we can see the re
it starts with a section on the "Selection of Donor s"... |
46,015 | 332 | QUESTION:
We've got later versions from '87 and 1990. Until you
introduced your own selection booklet, was this
the guidance that was used, do you think, some form
of -- one of the --
ANSWER:
Oh yes, yeah.
|
46,016 | 332 | QUESTION:
-- versions of this?
ANSWER:
I mean, this document is very familiar to me. I me an,
you could pull up several from different years and
they don't change a lot, but this was the base for the
selection of donors that we used. I mean, we didn' t
deviate particularly from this, it's just that we
tried to... |
46,017 | 332 | QUESTION:
And if we go to the next page, please, this sets ou t
the questions that the donor session clerk should a sk
about medical history. And then we've got a number of
conditions listed. We can see AIDS would lead to
disqualification.
Blood transfusion in last six months is referred
to the medical office... |
46,018 | 332 | QUESTION:
Yes, if we go then to the bottom of page 6 because
you'll see it says, "See note ix", and then --
ANSWER:
Okay.
|
46,019 | 332 | QUESTION:
-- note ix is at the bottom of page 6:
"Transfusion of blood or blood products received
in the last six months."
Then it says:
"6 months minimum depending on nature of disease
or injury."
ANSWER:
Yeah.
|
46,020 | 332 | QUESTION:
In any event, if we then go back to page 4, please,
I just want to pick up a couple of other conditions or
situations.
So the third item down here is "Drug abuse ...
Disqualify." Can you recall what procedures were t o

category? Were there specific questi... |
46,021 | 332 | QUESTION:
Then if we look further down the page, we've got:
"Hepatitis ... Refer to MO ... See appendix 1"
And we see the same at the top of the next page,
it says, "Jaundice ... Refer to MO ... See appendix
1".
If we just go to appendix 1, page 12, please.
So we can see it's the fifth paragraph down, headed

46,022 | 332 | QUESTION:
"Individuals who give a history of jaundice or

46,023 | 332 | QUESTION:
Then if we come to guidance produced by the Norther n
Region itself, if we start with NHBT0007497, we can
see a letter from you to Dr Gunson, January 1994
saying:
"I know you are now getting reasonably close to
producing the Selection of Donors booklet. I thoug ht
you might like to see the version we h... |
46,024 | 332 | QUESTION:
-- so probably what you were referring to in your
letter to Dr Gunson?
ANSWER:
Yes.
|
46,025 | 332 | QUESTION:
If we go to page 5, we can see, under the heading
"Introduction", it provides:

the Northern Region Blood Transfusion Service in th e
process of selecting Blood Donors and Donations wit h

of the donat... |
46,026 | 332 | QUESTION:
Then if we look towards the bottom half of this pag e,
"Rationale":
"There are two major considerations with regard
to donating blood. These are:
"(i) That all care should be taken to protect
the voluntary donor from harm, and.
"(ii) That the blood or plasma collected should

46,027 | 332 | QUESTION:
I'm sorry, Dr Lloyd --
ANSWER:
-- remember we had -- sorry?
|
46,028 | 332 | QUESTION:
You froze there for a moment. Sometimes when you
184 freeze I don't think we're losing what you're sayin g
but I think we might have done there.
ANSWER:
Okay.
|
46,029 | 332 | QUESTION:
So the last we heard was you said, "But we did
collect", and then we lost you.
ANSWER:
Okay, yes. We did collect donations that we couldn 't
use. Our statistics, as we gradually built up our
information systems in the centre, we realised that we
were taking a lot of donations that weren't either

46,030 | 332 | QUESTION:
Then if we go to page 7, we've got the heading

46,031 | 332 | QUESTION:
The paragraph which begins "Where doubt exists, the
donor should be deferred" --
ANSWER:
Yes.
|
46,032 | 332 | QUESTION:
-- was that a shift in policy at this time?
ANSWER:
I think we were moving more to excluding, if we wer e
in doubt, rather than collecting the donation and
perhaps following up afterwards. Now, in terms of the
safety of the blood we collect, you might argue tha t
186 that doesn't make a big differenc... |
46,033 | 332 | QUESTION:
We can take that down. Thank you.
What systems or processes did you put in place
to try and avoid donors whose donation might well e nd
up getting rejected from attending in the first pla ce?
How did you tackle that issue?
ANSWER:
I mean, two things. One is with a document like th e
selection docume... |
46,034 | 332 | QUESTION:
You talk in your statement about trying to ensure t hat
donors were informed about donation criteria before
attending, to avoid them wasting their time if they
turned out to be ineligible.
ANSWER:
Mm.
|
46,035 | 332 | QUESTION:
Was that done by sending out standard literature wi th
the call-up cards, then?
ANSWER:
Well, in one of my documents that I attached to my
witness statement, you'll see a leaflet that we
produced. You'll see it stands out. It's white wi th
a lot of red lettering on it and most of the text i s

46,036 | 332 | QUESTION:
The letter that you referred to that you exhibited to
your statement is WITN6935020.
ANSWER:
Yes.
|
46,037 | 332 | QUESTION:
It's not, I think, dated but I think it must be aft er
1989 because, if we just look at the letter on the
right-hand side:

46,040 | 332 | QUESTION:
We missed a bit there. So you said --
ANSWER:
Okay.
|
46,041 | 332 | QUESTION:
-- you asked the rhetorical question: did we do it
before 1990? Then we lost it for a few seconds.
ANSWER:
Okay. Looking at the timing and thinking back abou t
our thought processes of changing how we, you know,
dealt with donors, this is probably the first one w e
191 put out.
|
46,042 | 332 | QUESTION:
Then, if I can ask you to look at your statement,
WITN6935001, page 10. It'll be the bottom half of the
page, please, Sully, when we get to it.
So, in that long paragraph at the end, just over
halfway down, you say:
"In the past many donations were labelled for
'laboratory use' because of limitations i... |
46,043 | 332 | QUESTION:
We can take that down --
ANSWER:
It's not fair to the donors.
|
46,044 | 332 | QUESTION:
And then what, if any, systems were in place at the
Northern Regional service to ensure that a donor wh o
192 had been excluded from giving blood in your region
would not give blood in another region? Was there any
way of ensuring that?
ANSWER:
Oh no, no, I don't think so. If we excluded someon e,
I ... |
46,045 | 332 | QUESTION:
And do you recall any occasions in which your servi ce
was notified by another regional service of a donor
who'd been excluded? Or deferred?
ANSWER:
I do not recall that happening. It's a lot of year s
ago, but I don't recall it, no.
|
46,046 | 332 | QUESTION:
I just then want to pick up on a couple of what mig ht
be regarded as high-risk groups. So prison donatio ns,
first of all. If we look at NHBT0008628_001. This is
a document that was put up together for a Scottish
Transfusion Directors' meeting in September 1983. It
says:

46,050 | 332 | QUESTION:
We lost you for a couple of seconds, a couple of
occasions, Dr Lloyd. I'm just going to read back
broadly what you said and see whether we caught all
of it.
So you said it may be "possible that we held
sessions at that facility in Cumberland after 1981" .
Then you referred to Dr Collins telling you tha... |

Then you say you can't be sure but it was in that

period that is your best recollection of when she t old

195 ANSWER:
That's my best recollection. I... |
46,052 | 332 | QUESTION:
You tell us in your statement this, you say:
"I recall from informal discussion with staff in
the Centre that it was known that prisoners were gi ven
privileges for donations such as cigarettes. This
went against our policy --

Yes.

46,053 | 332 | QUESTION:
-- of not offering inducements to donate."
ANSWER:
Mm-hm.

46,054 | 332 | QUESTION:
Were you being told or led to understand that that was
something that was being given out by the Transfusi on
Service or by the prison?

I mean, first of all, that was not -- those session s
weren't occurring at the time. This was a historic al

46,055 | 332 | QUESTION:
And then do you recall whether the Northern Region
collected blood from military institutions, barrack s
or Air Force bases or the like?

Yes, we did. I'm pretty sure that we went to
Catterick barracks, near Northallerton, actually in
north Yorkshire. And we also went to a small --

46,056 | 332 | QUESTION:
And were there any US bases where donation sessions
were held?
ANSWER:
No, as far as I -- well, I know we didn't do any

any US bases in our region. There might have been an
Air Force base and some facilities around the North

46,057 | 332 | QUESTION:
Can you recall whether any active consideration was

high-risk activities than... |
46,058 | 332 | QUESTION:
And then you referred earlier to the position of
people coming along with family members to donate a nd
the difficulties that might arise there.
ANSWER:
Mm-hm.
|
46,059 | 332 | QUESTION:
I just want to pick that up by reference to a docum ent
you exhibited to your statement, WITN6935018.

46,061 | 332 | QUESTION:
I want to then pick up the issue of AIDS. How and
when, as far as you can recall, did you first becom e
aware of AIDS and it's potential transformation

ANSWER:
It's hard to remember when. I mean, you know, duri ng

46,062 | 332 | QUESTION:
Again, putting it back in the context of your own
career, you were in that period, 1982 through to sa y
1984, that was your I think senior registrar traini ng
when you were doing the rotation between the differ ent
hospitals?
ANSWER:
Mm-hm.

46,063 | 332 | QUESTION:
So do you recall any sense in the haematology
community at that time any particular sense of urge ncy
or concern about the potential threat that AIDS pos ed?

46,064 | 332 | QUESTION:
And just in terms of seeing haemophiliac patients w ith
early signs at the Royal Victoria Infirmary, again,

46,073 | 333 | QUESTION:
Thank you.
Now I want to move, then, to the donor leaflets
introduced in 1983. Again, I'm very conscious that
you were not in post at the Centre at that point in
time, but I'm going to ask you to look at a couple of
documents in any event.
If we start with NHBT0020668.
So, Dr Lloyd, this was a letter s... |
46,074 | 333 | QUESTION:
Again, I'm not going to go through the detail of th e

Now, that was early July 1983. The Inquiry

46,075 | 333 | QUESTION:
Whether Newcastle introduced, as some centres did,
their own earlier leaflet or whether Newcastle wait ed
for this national leaflet to become available in
September?
ANSWER:
I'm certainly not aware that we issued anything
earlier. I can't say we didn't, but I personally a m
not aware of it.

46,076 | 333 | QUESTION:
And then I'm again going to ask you to look at
a document you wouldn't have seen at the time but i t

transfusion-transmitted or possible
transfusion-transmitted HIV. I'll do that by
reference to a document you've seen and talked abou t
in your state... |
46,089 | 333 | QUESTION:
-- October 1992, and it concerned the Department of
Health's scheme of payments for those infected with
HIV through blood or tissue transfer. You refer to
a file relating to the transfusion of a particular
individual and, obviously, we're not going to menti on
that individual by name.
ANSWER:
Yes.

46,090 | 333 | QUESTION:
If I just read the first paragraph:
"No new information has come to light since the
original investigation. I enclose for your
information a copy of the report I wrote in 1986 wh ich
identifies the donations originally transfused to
[her] and the related investigations. One of the t wo
units transfus... |
46,091 | 333 | QUESTION:
Do you recall whether this was the only such
investigation which you carried out or were there
others?
76 ANSWER:
I don't recall any others. You know, the Northern
Region didn't -- you know, had a very low incidence of
HIV positivity amongst blood donors. I think we're
talking perhaps about one in a... |
46,092 | 333 | QUESTION:
Would we be right to understand this case may
illustrate the limitations of the investigations wh ich
you were able to undertake because, in relation to the
second donor, whose donation may have been the
infectious donation, you had no samples post the
availability of testing and you were unable to trac... |
46,093 | 333 | QUESTION:
Yes.
ANSWER:
So, no, we certainly didn't keep samples. We weren 't
7 testing for HIV in 1982. And as you've said, we
had -- there were definite limitations on how we
further explored the possibility of that individual
being HIV positive.... |
46,094 | 333 | QUESTION:
Then if I just ask you to look at a reply from
Dr Rejman to you.
DHSC0020840_031.
So this is a response to you, 4 November 1992,
and Dr Rejman sets out in the second paragraph:
"It would appear that the donor who failed to
re-attend may be the cause of the HIV infection."
78 Then he goes on to set out... |
46,095 | 333 | QUESTION:
Do you know whether anything further was done in th at
regard?
ANSWER:
As far as I know, this donor did not come up on the
panel, on the CDSC. I think Dr Rejman would have l et
us -- would have let me know, so I had no further
follow-up from this. I'm not quite sure how the
Department planned to deal... |
46,096 | 333 | QUESTION:
So WITN6935001, please, Sully. Dr Lloyd's witness
statement's. And if we go to page 83.
So picking it up at the bottom of the page,
there's a heading "Surrogate testing for NANB", and
you say this in your final paragraph on that page:
80 "I did consider that surrogate testing might
have reduced risk, ... |
46,097 | 333 | QUESTION:
But in relation to anti-HBc testing either on its o wn
or combined with ALT testing as a surrogate marker for
non-A, non-B hepatitis, do you have any views on
whether that could or should have been introduced a t
some point in the 80s?
ANSWER:
That, yeah, that's a difficult -- we know from stud ies
tha... |
46,098 | 333 | QUESTION:
We can still see and hear you, Dr Lloyd. Can you s ee
and hear --
ANSWER:
You can?
