The head of the public inquiry into the UK's infected blood scandal has called out delays in compensating victims, saying the sluggish process is causing even more harm to those already affected. The chair emphasized that payments must be both fair and delivered much faster to avoid prolonging the suffering of victims and their families.
Editor’s Note: This isn't just about money—it's about justice for people who were given contaminated blood products, often with life-altering consequences. Delays in compensation add insult to injury, dragging out trauma for victims who’ve waited decades for accountability. The story highlights systemic failures and why timely redress matters in rebuilding trust.
