A government minister has said that more victims of infected blood scam will ever die without receiving full compensation.

Paymaster General Nick Thomas-SIMMNDS NHS was giving evidence for a special session of public investigation into the disaster.

It has been thought that 30,000 patients in Britain were infected with HIV or Hepatitis B and C after being treated with a contaminated blood clotting product or blood transfusion in the 1970s and 80s.

Mr. Thomas-Simonds agreed that it was “deeply unsatisfactory” that a harmful report was published in the scam, almost a year after the published, only 106 final compensation awards were paid.

The cabinet office minister said, “I am never going to think that it is satisfactory until everyone has received compensation.”

“The objective should be paid as soon as possible (people).”

A final report in the scandal published last year found that the disaster could be avoided to a large extent if separate decisions were taken by the health officials at that time.

The report stated that in the 1970s and 80s, it was greatly reduced to prevent imports of blood products from abroad, and there was evidence that the elements of the scam were covered.

Last month, the chairman of the public inquiry, Sir Brian Langstaff, ordered an additional hearing of two days after receiving the “letter after the letter, the email”, as the government’s compensation has expressed concern about the manner of management of the compensation plan.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves separated £ 11.8BN in the previous budget to give final awards to the victims and their family members, but the latest figures have been paid less than 1% of that total, some £ 97m.

The remaining and some bereaved relatives of the scam have also received a range of small interim compensation payments in the last three years.

Eleven victims and their representatives gave evidence in a emotional panel session in front of the audience of about 300 people in Westminster.

Andrew Evans, president of the campaign group tent blood, said that the hearing was feeling “betrayal and disappointed” to many victims and their families.

“People have given up any expectation to get anything,” he said.

“He has ever lost all hope of getting justice and we can never do it for a very long time.”

Other witnesses criticized the method in which individuals were being approached and “invited” to come forward to claim final compensation, stating that it is “waiting for your lottery ticket”.

The Gary webster, a hemophiliaq, who was infected with HIV and Hepatitis C after a disciple at the trailoe school in Hampshire in the 1970s and 80s, said “(some) people would not get their compensation and many claims will die with them.”

“It is very slow and people will not get the justice they deserve,” he said.

Under the current rules, if a person is infected with HIV or Hepatitis B or C, if he dies before receiving full compensation, any final award can be passed through his assets to his relatives.

But compensation can also be claimed by people affected by the scam -a partner, brother -in -law or child’s parents, for example -for different effects on their lives.

And if they die before that compensation, their claim will die with them and it cannot be passed.

Later during the day’s interrogation, Mr. Thomas-Symonds, who leads the response to the government, stated that he was “restless for further progress on payment”.

An independent body infected blood compensation Authority (IBCA), an independent body established to pay the scam victims, has said that it expects the “wholesale” of the awards to be infected by the end of 2027, most of those people, such as family members and carers, were paid by the end of 2029.

Mr. Thomas-Simonds said that he considered that time as a “backstop”, rather than a goal rather than a target.

“The argument for this is that there may be other people who have not yet come forward at this level (to claim),” he said.

“I never did anything, but clarified that they are full backstops and I hope these payments will gain momentum (in future).”
