Mr. Lawrence Murphy:

We have come across a number of individuals who tested positive for hepatitis C and may have had the virus for a decade or more but had no symptoms and were physically in good health. However, when they got tested and scanned it turned out they had cirrhosis. They would not have known that unless they came into contact with their peers and we were able to forward them to get FibroScanned and put on a pathway to get treated. Those individuals, and there have been a few of them, have gone on to be successfully cured of hepatitis C. They still have cirrhosis and need to link in and be monitored but the disease progression has been halted through the direct-acting antiviral, DAA, drugs.
