Infected blood scandal victims sue
Daily Express
|May 27, 2024
HUNDREDS of infected blood victims are suing the Government after criticism over the proposed compensation plans.
-
The civil litigation, brought against the Secretary of State for Health, alleges "misfeasance in public office" over the scandal that saw thousands infected with HIV and hepatitis C in the 1970s and 1980s.
The action was relaunched after Sir Brian Langstaff's damning inquiry report found the tragic events "could largely have been avoided" and that there was a "pervasive" cover-up to hide the truth.
Misfeasance is a civil offence relating to alleged misuse or abuse of power by a public official or authority causing loss or harm.
