Anguish of a long delay for justice

PEOPLE given infected blood and blood products in one of the worst treatment disasters in NHS history have described “anguish” felt while waiting for compensation.

- 

The Infected Blood Inquiry has heard that many victims fear they will not live to receive compensation, with people affected by the scandal saying they feel “betrayed and disappointed”.

But campaigners insisted that they will “have justice” as hearings reopened into the scandal.

Sir Brian Langstaff, chairman of the Infected Blood Inquiry, is holding two days of special hearings to examine the “timeliness and adequacy of the Government’s response to compensation”.
