There's so much to process and so much to say.

Here are some initial words from Kate, our Chief Executive, on a momentous day.

[BBC Breakfast @BBCBreakfast]

The public inquiry into the infected blood scandal, known as the biggest treatment disaster in NHS history, is due to publish its findings.

Chief political correspondent Henry Zeffman had more details on the investigation which saw more than 30,000 people infected with HIV and hepatitis C

[Haemophilia Society @HaemoSocUK]

Tomorrow the Infected Blood Inquiry's final report will be published.

The wrongs that have been done could never be corrected but those that have been wronged deserve to know how and why.

Love the 'How did that happen?' @EHC_Haemophilia #vwd campaign raising awareness & sparking discussion.
Bruising is not normal. I was pleased to talk about removing barriers to diagnosis at #EHC2023 today
@HannahYarnall of @HaemoSocUK did a great job sharing her story

[Daily Dose @Karen_Pinachyan]

Brilliant & smiling panel of “Factoring in the phenotype” symposium at #EHC2023 with @CathyFarrelly, @HannahYarnall from @HaemoSocUK & Baiba Ziemele of @Hemofilija_lv & @wfhemophilia #vWD & Women committee #WGBD,
On the very serious topic of #vonWillebrand disease and how to understand the impact of vWD, increase awareness of symptoms => remove barriers to #diagnosis. Great choice of the topic by @EHC_Haemophilia & @CSL

[William McKeown @WillMcKeown]

“All patients with haemophilia should have access to physiotherapy and be able to self-refer” - @DStephensen68. 👏🏻 Really important point. PT crucial for bleeding disorder management, not just treating consequences of bleeds, but also preventing them. @EHC_Haemophilia

[Haemophilia Society @HaemoSocUK]

Tom, 15, who has mild haemophilia, is grateful to his fantastic physiotherapist for supporting his love of sport. Tom’s backing our Fit for the Future appeal to fund our work promoting specialist physiotherapy services for people with a bleeding disorder.

@CEO_UKTwinds Have you heard more about whether / when Princess Andriana Resort will be reopening?

[Cathy Farrelly @CathyFarrelly]

@B1t3My8B1t @jet2tweets Exactly. The hotel isn't able to offer what it advertised when we booked... Therefore contract broken. Gimme my money back and let me book another holiday for my family! I'll be getting money back either way so stop dragging your feet @jet2tweets

[Cathy Farrelly @CathyFarrelly]

@Joannereid55 @jet2tweets Is this true about TUI? I am booked here from 8th and @jet2tweets told me they won't cancel or let me transfer.
