MPs' new cash plea for infected blood victims
South Wales Echo
|October 24, 2025
THE UK Government is still taking too long to compensate victims of the infected blood scandal, MPs have said.
-
The criticism comes as applications for further interim payments for the families of victims opened yesterday.
The scandal has been dubbed the worst treatment disaster in the history of the NHS.
Sir Brian Langstaff, chairman of the infected blood inquiry, has previously called for “faster and fairer” compensation for victims.
At Cabinet Office questions yesterday, the UK Government came under renewed criticism for the length of time it is taking for victims to receive compensation, including from the Labour benches.
Cabinet Office minister Nick Thomas-Symonds insisted he would “continue to drive progress as quickly as possible”.
