The report of the Comptroller and Auditor General states that in 2012 the HSE estimates that between 20,000 and 30,000 people were infected by hepatitis C with around 10,000 individuals living with chronic infection at the end of 2009. Those figures were from nine years ago. Does the HSE have up-to-date figures? Are the figures much the same or have they changed?
