FURIOUS victims of the infected blood scandal hit out last night at further delays to receiving full compensation.
Paymaster General John Glen told MPs in the Commons that all those who had been infected with tainted blood - as well as the families of those already dead - would receive an interim payment of £210,000 within 90 days.
And he said there would be full compensation by the end of the year.
But there was no detail on what the final payments would be, or exactly when they would be made.
The move comes a day after Sir Brian Langstaff unveiled his report on the infected blood scandal From the 70s, 30,000 people were "knowingly" infected with either HIV or hepatitis C because "those in authority did not put patient safety first", the inquiry's report said. About 3000 people died.
The response of the Government and NHS has "compounded" victims' suffering, said the report.
