North: Haemophiliacs 'may have been given suspect blood product'

A haemophilia centre in the North has revealed that a "very small number" of haemophiliacs may have been given blood products from a donor who developed variant CJD, the human form of BSE.

Dr Ken Fullerton, the medical director of the centre, said the donor gave blood twice in Scotland in 1987 and developed vCJD two years ago.
