Dr. Terry Walshe, a former BTSB consultant, was involved, as was Dr. Emer Lawlor of the BTSB who, according to the Irish Haemophiliac Society, tried a damage limitation exercise on behalf of the BTSB. Then there was Professor Ian Temperley, former head of the National Haemophilia Centre in St. James's Hospital. According to members of the Irish Haemophilia Centre, he was arrogant and unfeeling and told people in corridors that they had HIV, etc. The report gives him a better reference. However, it criticised him for taking something like six months leave at a vital time in 1985.
