Children were used as 'objects for research' while the risks of contracting hepatitis and HIV were ignored at a specialist school where boys were treated for haemophilia, the final report of the Infected Blood Inquiry has found.
Steve Nicholls, from Farnham in Surrey, attended Treloar's between 1976 and left in 1983. In his class of 20 boys, only two survived. Ade Goodyear suffered from severe haemophilia was given infected blood in 1990 at the age of nine. Six years' later, he was told by a doctor that he only had three years' to live.
He said: 'The pupils were often regarded as objects for research, rather than first and foremost as children whose treatment should be firmly focused on their individual best interests alone. This was unethical and wrong.' Despite knowledge of the dangers, clinicians proceeded with higher-risk treatments in attempts to further their research, the report concluded.
The Lord Mayor Treloar College, which has since been rebranded as Treloar's, was established in 1908 as a school which gave disabled children a better chance to receive an education alongside any medical treatment they might need.
