Contaminated Blood Scandal

My constituent Dena is one of the thousands infected by contaminated blood who is still waiting for justice.

Signed cross-party by over 180 political figures, the Sunday Times Declaration on the Contaminated Blood Scandal calls on the Government to get on with paying compensation to all infected and affected. I’m proud to be one of them.

Andy Burnham said: “Just as with the Post Office scandal, the victims of contaminated blood are being forced to beg and plead for what they are due. It is demeaning, cruel and abhorrent and represents the British State at its unaccountable worst.” He’s completely right.

With two victims dying each week, there’s no justification for further delays.
