Maureen Harrison was infected with Hepatitis C when she received a blood transfusion after the birth of her second child: "The midwife told me that I could stay in hospital and have a transfusion of two units of blood. She said that the alternative would be to take six months of iron tablets. She advised that it would be better to stay overnight and have the transfusion, so I agreed to have the transfusion of blood."
