More blood victims will die without compensation – ministers

Andrew Evans, chairman of the campaign group spoiled, told the hearing that many victims and their families “betrayed and disappointed”.

“People have given up the expectation of receiving something,” he said.

“You have lost all hope of ever getting justice, and we can't do it for long.”

Other witnesses criticized the way individuals contacted and “invited” to report to claim final compensation, and described them as “waiting for their lottery ticket”.

Gary Webster, a hemophilic that was infected with HIV and hepatitis C in the 1970s and 80s, when a student at the Treloar School in Hampshire said “[some] People will not get their compensation and many claims will die with them. “

“It's just too slow and the people won't get justice they earn,” he added.

According to the current rules, a final award can be passed on to your relatives via your estate if someone dies with HIV or hepatitis B or C before receiving full compensation.

The compensation can also be asserted by the people affected by the scandal – a partner, siblings or parents of a child – for the separate effects on his life.

And if you die before this compensation, your claim will die with you and cannot be passed on.

In the later survey later a day, Mr. Thomas Symond, who heads the government's reaction, said that he was “restless for further progress in payments”.

The infected Blood damage authority (IBCA), an independent body that was set up to pay the victims of the scandal, expects the “mass” of the awards to be received to infected survivors by the end of 2027, with most of those affected, such as B. Family members and nurses will be paid by the end of 2029.

Mr. Thomas Symonds said that he saw this timeline more as a “backstop” than as a goal that you can work towards.

“The logic is that there may be other people who have not yet reported in this phase [to claim]”, he said.

“I have never been anything else than clear that they are absolute baking tops and I expect these payments to accelerate [in the future]. “
