Cambridgeshire man wants ‘closure’ from infected blood inquiry

In 2022, following advice from the inquiry, the government made interim payments of £100,000 each to about 4,000 surviving victims and some bereaved partners.

Mr Cantrill said: “Words are cheap so when someone stands up and says ‘We accept the moral case for compensation,’ what does that mean?

“No amount of money will bring anyone back or change the suffering, but it will reinforce that someone is genuinely sorry and recognise every life affected and lost.”

A government spokesperson said: “This was an appalling tragedy and our thoughts remain with all those impacted.

“We are clear that justice needs to be delivered for the victims and have already accepted the moral case for compensation.

“This covers a set of extremely complex issues and it is right we fully consider the needs of the community and the far reaching impact that this scandal has had on their lives.”
