EMOTIONAL TESTIMONIES
VICTIMS of the infected blood scandal are set for compensation of least £10billion and an official apology from the PM.Almost 3,000 people have died and as many as 30,000 are estimated to have been infected due to failings in the 1970s and 1980s.Today's inquiry report is set to reveal how top doctors and politicians failed to act on warnings about the safety of the treatments and allowed the danger to continue for years.
“Far too many people have died believing that no Prime Minister would ever take responsibility for what happened to them. Steve Nicholls, 54, from Farnham, Surrey, left the school in 1983 and was mourning his first classmate just a year later.“I dreaded the phone ringing, because you knew it was going to be about someone else who had passed away,” he said.
“We’re still fighting for compensation and that will continue, and there will be things we will never know.” These medical products were injected into patients, often children, who had blood disorders like haemophilia, which stops clotting and can cause severe bleeding.
