Infected blood scandal victims feel ‘troubled and weak’ in receiving compensation of $ 11.8 billion

Thousands of victims of the infected blood scandal, according to the judiciary that manages the investigation, feels ‘troubled and weak’ of delays in receiving compensation.

Approximately a year has passed since the government promised compensation, but it was still not paid.

Sir Brian Langstaff warned that the victims cannot be ‘rejected or ignored’, because the government announced that he would write a report on the inactivity of the victims to compensate.

More than 30,000 people in the UK were infected with HIV, Hepatitis C and B after contaminated blood and blood products between the 1970s and early 1990s.

As a result, approximately 3,000 people died and survivors live with life -long health effects in one of the worst health scandals in England.

Relatives of those who die, such as their parents or children who have lost their brothers, are currently entitled to compensation, which may mean that more than 100,000 people are suitable.

However, the disappointment of the survivors is increasing and dozens of victims have published new statements, especially condemning the delays of compensation from the government.

Sir Brian said: ‘The shortage of weakness and emotions expressed in most of these expressions can be neither rejected nor ignored.

“Our aim in the investigation is to determine whether there are changes to address the practical measures that can be taken or the concerns brought to us.

‘Our intention is to be a constructive process and we are worried not to contribute to more delay in individuals receiving compensation ..’

The six -year infected blood inquiry published his latest report on the scandal in May last year and a compensation plan was announced the day after.

During his budget in October, Chancellor Rachel Reeves promised £ 11.8 billion to compensate for the victims to be governed by the Infected Blood Compensation Authority (IBCA).

However, according to the victims, the government is ‘silence’ to ’embarrass’ from the delays in IBCA’s compensation.

In an anonymous statement, a witness said: ‘I am afraid that the same corporate vulnerability and group thinking that caused the cover of the original scandal and the thinking of the group prevented the scheme.’

Another anonymous witness said: ‘Anxiety levels are rocketing to the levels that people have never experienced before, people cry, they cannot function, they cannot eat, they feel sick, they feel lost, they are lost.’

‘Physical prosperity is low, people feel in a low EBB, all the difficult jobs they are campaigning are for nothing.’

Relatives of those who die, such as their parents or children who have lost their brothers, are currently entitled to compensation, which may mean that more than 100,000 people are suitable.

The Collins lawyers company affected thousands of people des Collins, the plan to work yet with the volume of the applications ‘near’ can not cope, he said.

“We accept that there is an urgent need to bring some transparency to the implementation of the compensation plan, which is a very opaque process so far,” Collins said.

‘When it comes to our customers, there was no significant participation in the development of the plan.’

‘Most of our customers and others in the community are once again tired of the adopted protective approach and reached Sir Brian accordingly.’

The investigation will publish more explanations next month, when additional hearings will be held, the time interval of providing written shipments and the publication of the further report.

Last month, a lawyer representing the scandal’s families and victims claimed that only 0.2 percent of potential plaintiffs were invited to pay.

A government spokesman said: ‘The victims of this scandal clearly suffered.

‘We are completely determined to cooperate with the investigation and to act on suggestions and grateful for its comprehensive work to date.

‘We have allocated £ 11.8 billion to compensate for infected blood victims, we made compensation offers over £ 48 million and paid £ 1 billion in temporary payments. ‘
