Join us on Thursday for an update around compensation and the Infected Blood Inquiry…
Things are moving very quickly…
#InfectedBloodInquiry
#Compensation
👇 The survivors of the contaminated blood scandal have been treated with contempt by gov’ts of all stripes for more than five decades. Trust is in short supply. Surely John Glen MP you can see this is unhelpful and will only add to the anguish people feel as they wait for justice
We also reveal how MPs were forced to choose between tax cuts or compensation - as this government follows the same pattern as others and seeks delay justice to avoid payouts despite two victims continuing to die every week. #bloodydisgrace
Bill Wright, Chair Haemophilia Scotland
on his liver cancer diagnosis and the urgent need for people infected and affected by contaminated blood products to find out the truth about what happened and why.

Our Chief Executive [email protected] will be on BBC Radio Kent shortly to talk about the contaminated blood scandal. BBC regions across the UK are focussing on this issue today with special reports and interviews. #InfectedBloodInquiry

Lack of transparency from John Glen MP in setting up meetings with people impacted by infected blood is causing confusion. This statement from the Haemophilia Society sets out our involvement. Govt must be open if it expects any trust in this process.

🚨The chairs of three haemophilia societies have told John Glen MP the minister with responsibility for Infected Blood Inquiry not to start a fact-finding 'tour' before confirming the government will pay compensation. Clive Smith Haemophilia Scotland Haemophilia NI

Along with the chairs of Haemophilia Scotland and NI, I have written to the Paymaster General urging him to engage in a more meaningful way with the contaminated blood community than the planned 25 meetings around the country.

Thank you to Diana Johnson DBE MP 🇬🇧🇺🇦🌈 for keeping up the pressure on government over its response to compensation.
The latest update in the House today says that govt are coming to the end of the current process.

Collins Solicitors Diana Johnson DBE MP 🇬🇧🇺🇦🌈 John Glen MP Far from looking forward to it, I, along with SO many others see this for what it is, a cynical time wasting exercise. As you well know, SRF met with people when he put together his compensation framework. We don't need more meetings, WE NEED COMPENSATION!
Very good short series on BBC Radio 4 at lunchtime about the contaminated blood scandal.
