The Telegraph reports that haemophiliacs who received blood in the 1970s and 1980s and were infected with hepatitis C, and some with HIV, are not going to receive the substantial compensation payments that were recommended by Lord Archer of Sandwell earlier this year.
This seems incredibly mean.
Not only have these already vulnerable people with a serious illness been given additional serious illness by way of the contaminated blood, but they have been having to waste their time - many years - and scant energies in fighting a complacent, uncaring 'system' that is so inappropriately named the Department of Health.
