Pleased the inquiry today highlighted fairness to counter the recent government/media narrative of speed. The scheme as it stands is unfair not just slow #infectedbloodinquiry

Inquiry publishes additional evidence | Infected Blood Inquiry

#InfectedBloodScandal #InfectedBloodInquiry has released more evidence. I have not read it but it is good to see that they are working at pace...

Those demanding a national inquiry into grooming gangs are also demanding action, prosecutions & accountability NOW. Having a several-years-long inquiry is the best way to ensure that doesn't happen.

How many prosecutions?

#InfectedBloodInquiry

And we're off again #InfectedBloodInquiry

This is the paymaster general.

The expert group was appointed before he took up his post, under the previous government.

Talking about the culture of government over decades, lack of transparency and candour. Culture of institutional defensiveness

Here we go again. #InfectedBloodInquiry

Sir Brian welcomed with the true affection he is held in. Starting with campaign and advocacy groups, describing the problems with the (lack of) compensation scheme and the working at (snails) pace.

Heading to the #InfectedBloodInquiry to hear answers to some questions. One of which is where is my dad's compensation?

He asked me what happens to it if he dies before he gets it last week. He is 80. They know how much he would get, he knows what he wants to do, they have his evidence. Why wait?

Really frustrating that the infected blood payments still haven’t been made. Perhaps we should be getting the Americans to pay the billion pound compensation as it was their infected blood and plasma that infected our families. #infectedbloodinquiry

Had a chat with @simonforstroud.bsky.social about #InfectedBloodInquiry - he is going to find the paymaster general today and ask questions, to get back to me.

Listening to the Chair of the #InfectedBloodInquiry - you can feel the anger towards successive governments and a defensive civil service.

Duty of candour called for again
