INFECTED BLOOD
UK Govt: Infected blood compensation payouts will begin 'by the end of this year'
Final compensation payments to victims of the infected blood scandal will begin being made before the end of this year, the UK Government has promised. The UK Government's Paymaster General, John Glen, has outlined plans for the scheme which he said will deliver "comprehensive compensation" for those infected with HIV or hepatitis by contaminated blood products used in the NHS during the 1970s and 1980s.
