Important notice for women over 30

[if gte mso 9]><xml> Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 </xml><![endif][if gte mso 9]><![endif] The IBTS National Screening Programme concerns women over 30 who received the Anti-D during risk years 01/05/1977 - 31/07/1979 and later between 01/03/1991 - 18/02/1994. The programme is in the final stages to ensure all those at risk are informed of the option to have a test for Hepatitis C.

If your answers to the above questions are 'Yes' and you have not already been tested for Hepatitus C, then you need to contact the Irish Blood Transfusion Service to arrange for a Hepatitus C blood test with your GP.
