- The Lindsay Tribunal was set up in Ireland in 1999 to investigate the infection of haemophiliacs with HIV and Hepatitis C from contaminated blood products supplied by the Blood Transfusion Service Board. There are about 400 haemophiliacs in Ireland. According to the tribunal a 'minimal figure' of 250 haemophiliacs were infected with HIV or Hepatitis C while receiving treatment from the BTSB before 1985. Haemophilia is a genetic condition where the blood does not clot as quickly as normal due to a deficiency in certain proteins. This means they can suffer from internal bleeding - bruises and sprains can be much more serious for haemophiliacs. Haemophiliacs may be treated by transfusions of the protein they are deficient in. One source of this protein is from human blood. Heat-treatment of blood products was started in the mid-eighties. Heat-treatment of blood products reduces the probability of infection from them. Since 1992 recombinant proteins are generally used, which contain little, if any, human blood products - and thus have a negligible risk of contamination. Most of the blood products used by the BTSB were from local donations. However, some of it came from American suppliers which included blood from prisoners and drug addicts, who had a high risk of infection. (en)
- La commissione d'inchiesta Lindsay (Lindsay Tribunal) è stata una commissione ministeriale d'inchiesta costituita in Irlanda l'8 settembre 1999 per investigare le infezioni da HIV e HCV contratte dagli emofilici in seguito alla somministrazione di emoderivati infetti forniti dal servizio trasfusionale irlandese (il Blood Transfusion Service Board, BTSB). Unico membro della commissione è stato il giudice Alison Lindsay, dal quale prende il nome. La commissione è stata richiesta attraverso due risoluzioni del Dáil Éireann e del Seanad Éireann (le due camere del parlamento irlandese) del 2 giugno 1999 ed è stata costituita attraverso un ordine del Ministro della Salute e dei Bambini Brian Cowen il successivo 8 settembre.
