VICTIMS of the infected blood scandal rallied at Westminster yesterday ahead of the release of the final report into the tragedy. 

Nearly 30,000 people were infected with HIV and hepatitis C through contaminated blood products in the 1970s and 1980s, in one of the worst treatment disasters in NHS history.

More than 3,000 people have died as a result.
