Contaminated blood was given to many thousands of people in the United Kingdom during the 1970s and 1980s.

On July 11, 2007, Kelly Duda testified at the Lord Archer Inquiry on Contaminated Blood in the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The British inquiry aimed to uncover the British government's part in a scandal that led to thousands of infections and deaths. Duda gave evidence as to the United State's role in the tragedy in what Lord Robert Winston has dubbed as "the worst treatment disaster in the history of the National Health Service"[1].
