“With additional hearings being held this week to address the timeliness and adequacy of the Government’s response to compensation following the publication of the Infected Blood Inquiry’s report 12 months ago, we would like to reiterate the call we made at that time to implement compensation plans without further delay.
The Inquiry’s report laid bare the full extent of this horrifying national scandal. We are deeply saddened that some of our former pupils were so tragically infected and their families affected, and we share our former students’ frustration with the time it is taking for compensation to be paid.
Separately, we are actively working with our former students and their families to deliver a lasting memorial to those who received infected blood products.”
