Letter from Gail M. Smith, J & A Hastie Solicitors, to [GRO-A], re Potential Damages Claim Infection with Hepatitis C, with copy of letter by Christopher A. Ludlam attached. Medical report from Dr Ludlam as to when it is perceived a specific patient was infected. It is very case specific. We now know from subsequent studies that such a dry heating regime is not adequate to prevent transmission of hepatitis C virus but this information is not known in 1986.
