A Son Never Forgets: Exposing the Infected Blood Scandal
By Jason Evans
“This is a book about a scandal that was denied and covered up for decades. But it is also a book about love and one man’s determination to honour the memory of the person he called Dad for too few years. Read it and weep and be angry.”
“Jason Evans has exposed lie after lie from the doctors, politicians and pharmaceutical companies who were behind thousands of people being infected with HIV and hepatitis by NHS treatment then denied justice for half a century. A Son Never Forgets is a gripping account of Jason’s tireless campaign, woven with the shocking truths he uncovered and the personal cost of this horrific scandal. This is a staggering book that everyone needs to read.”
“This book highlights how one person fighting for transparency can make all the difference”
“Jason Evans’s lonely quest to make his government do the right thing is proof that evil can never triumph if one good person listens to their conscience. His dedication in the face of personal trials is a perfect example of how victims become victors in the battle for truth and justice.”
