Concerns over re-infection and failure to stick to an expensive course of treatment particularly by people using illegal drugs may influence the decisions to treat people although such reasons are not supported by evidence. This project will allow the Hepatitis C Trust to improve access to services and counter discrimination by employing a Pathways Co-ordinator particularly to influence the way drug treatment and rehabilitation services design their services for people with the virus. The aim is to provide better testing, referrals to specialist services, and treatment options based on principles of fairness.
Henry Smith Charity - Grant to Hepatitis C Trust
£135,000	13/06/2013 36	towards three years' running costs of a National telephone helpline for people with or affected by Hepatitis C
