Spectators Welcome After considerable discussion and obtaining a letter from the board solicitor, the Clinton Pubic Hospi­ tal Board approved a policy for notifying former patients with regards to the risks of an HIV con­ taminated blood supply, from 1978 to 1985. The hospital will undertake a general look-back program which will involve corresponding directly to patients who received blood or blood products during those years. Included in the letter will be information concerning HIV as well as a suggestion that the patients should contact their family physician to be tested for possible exposure to Hepatitis C.
