infected blood compensation scheme in the house of commons. a lengthy statement followed by questions from fellow mps. with me now to discuss what we heard is our health reporter. a very significant, important day for the 30,000 victims of this blood scandal, more than 3000 have delayed waiting for compensation or conclusion. how comprehensive was it? it compensation or conclusion. how comprehensive was it?— compensation or conclusion. how comprehensive was it? it comes out ofthe comprehensive was it? it comes out of the report — comprehensive was it? it comes out of the report yesterday _ comprehensive was it? it comes out of the report yesterday and - comprehensive was it? it comes out of the report yesterday and sir - of the report yesterday and sir brian langstaff said yesterday when he criticised the time taken for the government to set up the scheme, accusing them of moving at a sluggish pace. the government had to come out quickly and announce something substantial. we've got a couple of things, they were saying final compensation should start to be paid by the end of the year. we have a time they are working towards. this has gone on for decades, this scandal, but there's been this big delay, sluggish

response to compensation. that will be of some relief to many of the victims. also some elements of conversation have been paid, so for thousand people have received interim conversation of £100,000 each. they said they will increase that payment by another 210,000 for people who are still alive and living with these infections. the reason they are doing it quite blatantly, brutally is because people are dying at a rate of two a week. there's a sense they need to move quickly. there are other things which may be of some concern to some of the victims, not least the fact at the moment if you are living with hiv or hepatitis c you receive a regular monthly support payment. not compensation, but support which can work—out at £20,000 or £40,000 a year. they are saying from march that will essentially be taken as an

element of your compensation. it feels they will take it off the compensation payment. they say no one will be worse off but i get a sense from speaking to people, that might cause some concern and disquiet among the community. we will have to wait and see when people have had an opportunity to digester these details.— digester these details. we've got some idea of _ digester these details. we've got some idea of the _ digester these details. we've got some idea of the compensation l digester these details. we've got l some idea of the compensation but not the full amount people will receive or exactly when, even though some people, those in a dire health situation, could receive it within the next 30 days. it’s situation, could receive it within the next 30 days.— the next 30 days. it's quite complicated. _ the next 30 days. it's quite complicated. they - the next 30 days. it's quite complicated. they are - the next 30 days. it's quite i complicated. they are saying the next 30 days. it's quite - complicated. they are saying there will be a set tariff for each type of infection. if you were infected with hiv or hepatitis there will be a certain amount and then an assessment. if you could never have assessment. if you could never have a job or a family, you had to live with stigma because of hiv, there

will be extra payments. it is just people infected and bereaved relatives who received any compensation. by the end of the year it will be extended to other groups, so people who lost children in childhood because of these infections will start to receive conversation, as well people orphaned by the scandal, and those groups have largely received nothing so far. it will be extended to these people who haven't received anything to date. ., ~ ,, people who haven't received anything to date. ., ~ i. ~ , to date. thank you. as we were sa inc , to date. thank you. as we were saying. around _ to date. thank you. as we were saying, around 3000 _ to date. thank you. as we were saying, around 3000 victims i to date. thank you. as we were i saying, around 3000 victims have already passed away without the chance to see the damning report and receive compensation. among them is perry evans, one of the first victims to give evidence to the inquiry. his wifejoins us now. however, welcome. your husband died five weeks ago and he was the only victim to be mentioned in yesterday's report. how do you feel

children, because it has been awful that they've never had anything on their circumstances have been so badly affected. you their circumstances have been so badly affected-— badly affected. you and your children and _ badly affected. you and your children and perry _ badly affected. you and your children and perry fought - badly affected. you and your children and perry fought to | badly affected. you and your i children and perry fought to get your heard for so long. you have been heard finally, there's a compensation scheme in its infancy but some details announced. if you can, try and explain what it means for many people. for can, try and explain what it means for many maple-— can, try and explain what it means for many people. for many people, they physically _ for many people. for many people, they physically or — for many people. for many people, they physically or emotionally i they physically or emotionally mentally haven't been able to work. to be in a situation where you don't have much income and having to deal with a lot of stuff in your personal life has been very hard. perry was fortunate he was determined to work and he carried on working as much as he could, at his company were very good to him. but it has been a hard road for so many people. and the

stigma and the lack of ability to be open about your own circumstances, it has been hard. you say we had to fight, i have to give credit to the campaigners because we were not at the forefront. perry spoke of when he could and we've done some interviews, but there are people who use each time after time at the today and here it is.— use each time after time at the today and here it is. well done to them. i today and here it is. well done to them- i want _ today and here it is. well done to them. i want to _ today and here it is. well done to them. i want to play _ today and here it is. well done to them. i want to play our - today and here it is. well done to them. i want to play our view i today and here it is. well done to them. i want to play our view is l today and here it is. well done to l them. i want to play our view is the moment where sir brian langstaff talked about your husband yesterday, the only victim to be personally mentioned. l the only victim to be personally mentioned-— mentioned. i will mention one erson, mentioned. i will mention one person. but — mentioned. i will mention one person, but everyone - mentioned. i will mention one person, but everyone here i mentioned. i will mention one i person, but everyone here knows of others _ person, but everyone here knows of others who— person, but everyone here knows of others who haven't survived to hear the outcome of this inquiry. perry evans _ the outcome of this inquiry. perry evans gave — the outcome of this inquiry. perry evans gave evidence on the very thursday— evans gave evidence on the very thursday of the inquiry in 2019. —— first day _ thursday of the inquiry in 2019. —— first day he — thursday of the inquiry in 2019. —— first day. he had a mild haemophilia

friends who knew about perry's status because the stigma was so bad. once we had the children we felt it was important to tell more people because we didn't want to reinforce the stigma, and we want to grow up in a world free of the stigma. i'm so proud of how perry conducted himself, and we took part in the documentary with stephen fry and did some stuff to try and breakdown the stigma. and it has changed, and the treatments have improved, thank goodness. i'm really sad perry has not seen today. it is sad perry has not seen today. it is really sad. — sad perry has not seen today. it is really sad. and — sad perry has not seen today. it is really sad, and we _ sad perry has not seen today. it is really sad, and we all feel for your loss. john glenn, just in the comments, said there will be a more wide—ranging debate in the comments about the findings of the infected blood inquiry, but he resisted calls from the former frontbencher david

that enough. sir brian langstaff�*s report lays out, it speaks for us, and we are so relieved his report is and we are so relieved his report is a powerful voice for us. we don't need to be the ones to say we need to campaign or speak to our mp. sir brian langstaff has spoken it all for us. it brian langstaff has spoken it all for us. , ., ., brian langstaff has spoken it all for us. , . . ., i. , for us. it is amazing that you still have faith in _ for us. it is amazing that you still have faith in the _ for us. it is amazing that you still have faith in the system, - for us. it is amazing that you still have faith in the system, a i for us. it is amazing that you still. have faith in the system, a system that has led so many people down but you still believe that when it comes to accountability, justice will be done eventually, you think? i sincerely hope so. what should that look like? it sincerely hope so. what should that look like? , ., ., ., sincerely hope so. what should that look like? , ., , ., look like? it is a good question, but i don't _ look like? it is a good question, but i don't know. _ look like? it is a good question, but i don't know. is _ look like? it is a good question, but i don't know. is it _ look like? it is a good question, but i don't know. is it possible l look like? it is a good question, | but i don't know. is it possible so many years _ but i don't know. is it possible so many years on — but i don't know. is it possible so many years on to _ but i don't know. is it possible so many years on to actually - but i don't know. is it possible so many years on to actually point l but i don't know. is it possible so l many years on to actually point the finger, to get to the source of who in so many different areas, in politics, the health surface, in the businesses, who allowed it to happen and whether there will be justice.
