Victims of hepatitis and HIV infected blood scandal speak on ‘damning’ report | BBC News


The UK government will set out details of the infected blood compensation scheme on Tuesday.

30,000 people were infected with hepatitis and HIV while receiving NHS treatment between the 1970s and 1990s – and 3,000 have since died.

On Monday, a public inquiry said victims were repeatedly failed, with evidence of a cover-up.

Roger Newman, who discovered he was infected with HIV and hepatitis C as a teenager, said, "We were also all so aware of so many that couldn’t be there because they were either too ill or already passed away."
