Protesters reveal 82 Infected Blood Scandal victims have died waiting for compensation

CAMPAIGNERS reported that 82 victims of the infected blood scandal have died without seeing compensation as they demonstrated in Westminster today.

Thousands of patients were infected with HIV and hepatitis C through contaminated blood products in the 1970s and 1980s.

The Infected Blood Inquiry, chaired by Sir Brian Langstaff, is due to publish its final report in May but made recommendations on compensation for victims and their loved ones in April 2023.
