News and events News Support for Hep C A cross-party group of MPs and peers, forming the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Liver Health, released a report on Tuesday urging national action to eliminate hepatitis C in England. It is estimated that 160,000 people in England are still living with hepatitis C, with 40-50% remaining undiagnosed. Charltes Gore, Chief Executive of The Hepatitis C Trust, said that: "Much as there has been great progress, as this report makes clear, we all need to up our game. No-one should be walking round with a virus that could give them liver cancer. No-one should have to wait for treatment. No-one should die from this disease when we have these miraculous drugs. We can eliminate this virus so let’s get on with it."
