Prime minister defends lack of compensation scheme for victims and families affected by scandal
Rishi Sunak was heckled at the infected blood inquiry as he defended the lack of a compensation scheme for victims and family members affected by the scandal.
The prime minister faced questions on Wednesday about why a scheme has not been set up despite recommendations from the paymaster general in 2020, a government-commissioned report last year and Sir Brian Langstaff, the inquiry’s chair in April.
