ARTICLE: Government's £100,000 Infected Blood compensation “loophole”

On Sunday, MailOnline published the article linked below carrying the headline “Outrage over cruel loophole in Government's £100,000 compensation scheme for victims of contaminated blood scandal that excludes 'thousands' who died”.

The piece outlines how the government’s present policy is to pay interim compensation to the estates of those who died as a result of infected blood products but, absurdly, only if they died during a three-month window in 2022.
