Rosemary in Sywell: My son received infected blood
Rosemary Calder's son Nicholas was given infected blood and died at 25
Between 1970 and 1980 30,000 people in the UK were infected with HIV and Hepatitis C due to being given contaminated blood products
It's thought that nearly three thousand people have died as a result
A Government spokesperson has told the 成人快手, 'This was an appalling tragedy, and our thoughts remain with all those impacted. We have consistently accepted the moral case for compensation, and that鈥檚 why we have tabled an amendment to the Victims and Prisoners Bill which enables the creation of a UK-wide Infected Blood Compensation Scheme and establishes a new arms-length body to deliver it. We will continue to listen carefully to those infected and affected about how we address this dreadful scandal'
