People affected by the NHS infected blood scandal have waited 'far too long' for answers, the defence secretary has said. Grant Shapps told the BBC families had been let down 'over decades'.
Around 3,000 people given infected blood by the health service in the 1970s and 80s have already died.
More than 30,000 NHS patients were given contaminated blood products in what has been called the worst treatment disaster in the history of the NHS.
It is thought thousands later died after contracting HIV or hepatitis C from a treatment made from blood plasma or a blood transfusion.
