Liver disease drive not enough

The virus can be passed by sharing needles

A £2m awareness campaign to tackle a liver disease which affects 500,000

people in the UK is too little too late, say experts.

The sum for hepatitis C is pittance compared to the £50m pledged to

diseases such as HIV, say charities.

Even if it helps find the 80% of people who do not yet know they have the

virus, there is not enough investment in services to treat them, they warn.
