UK Government Announces Lifetime Compensation for Infected Blood Victims, Including £15,000 for Treloar's School
Aug 16, 2024, 06:31 AM
The UK government has announced that victims of the infected blood scandal will receive compensation payments for life as part of an updated multi-billion-pound support scheme. This decision comes after decades of waiting for justice by thousands affected by what is considered the worst scandal in NHS history. The compensation scheme includes additional payments, such as an extra £15,000 for those who attended Treloar's boarding school. However, some victims have criticized the payouts as 'insulting and derisory,' particularly those who were part of unethical research experiments. The government, represented by Cabinet Office Minister Nick Thomas-Symonds, has confirmed that these payments will begin by the end of the year.
