Government announces plan to compensate infected blood victims

The government is expected to announce details of a compensation scheme for those affected by the infected blood scandal following an inquiry's report published on Monday.
The inquiry found that British authorities and the public health service knowingly exposed tens of thousands of patients to deadly infections through contaminated blood and blood products and hid the truth about the disaster for decades.
An estimated 3,000 people are believed to have died and in total 30,000 were infected after receiving blood or blood products tainted with HIV or hepatitis in the 1970s to the early 1990s.
