Qualitative evaluation of the barriers and facilitators to a retrospective hepatitis C virus patient re-engagement exercise in England

Government support and funding provision for regionally tailored holistic re-engagement approaches, alongside enhancements to health surveillance data, could enable barriers to re-engagement to be overcome.
