Ms Nicola Perry:

Yes, that would be the case. The profile here would be quite similar to that in western Europe, although there are other routes. The Chairman mentioned the issue of contaminated blood and blood products, which had a significant impact on a cohort of people and their families, earlier. Since 1992, blood and blood products have been tested so that is no longer a concern. There is a small chance of sexual transmission, there is also the risk of mother-to-child vertical transmission and there are some figures around tattooing in unlicensed or unregulated premises. There is also a culture of people using steroids and needles in gyms and fitness locations so that has been seen as another route. Around 7% of people, a figure that is consistent globally, who are infected with hepatitis C who do not really know where they got it. They do not have what we would phrase as a risk behaviour in which they engaged.
