C형 간염
Between 1977 and 1994 a number of people unknowingly received Hepatitis C-infected blood, and clear evidence of this did not become available until the mid-1990s. Most of those infected by the blood were women. The "Hepatitis C and HIV Compensation Tribunal" was established by the "Hepatitis C Compensation Tribunal Act, 1997", and amended by the "Hepatitis C Compensation Tribunal (Amendment) Act, 2002", to compensate people who contracted Hepatitis C or HIV as a result of receiving blood or blood products from the Service.
