A petition


Reproduced below are the words of a letter which can be found on the website of the Coventry Diocese.


My 24-year-old son has severe Haemophilia A. His condition arose with no known family history, and put a huge strain on family life during his early years. Fortunately he is not known (so far…) to have received contaminated blood products, but many people with haemophilia have, and in some cases their partner has been affected too…  and the effects on the individuals concerned and their families have been and continue to be devastating.


Lord Winston has called it ‘the worst treatment disaster in the history of the NHS.’


Please support, as an individual and as a congregation, the online petition to implement the recommendations of the Archer Report. For more information go to :

The letter is from  Christopher Wilson, who is the vicar of Holy Trinity, and of All Saints, in Leamington.  It deserves our support.
