GREATER Manchester mayor Andy Burnham demanded that those responsible for the infected blood scandal face prison yesterday. 

Nearly 30,000 people were infected with HIV and hepatitis C through contaminated blood products in the 1970s and 1980s. More than 3,000 people have died since.

An inquiry into the scandal is due to publish its final report on Monday.
