The UK Government has acknowledged the moral case for compensation for those affected by the Infected Blood scandal, yet progress in implementing compensation has been slow. MPs, including @GwynneMP, @lynbrownmp, @CatSmithMP, @MartynDaySNP, @RachaelMaskell, @ChrisStephens, and @LilianGreenwood, have presented petitions demanding immediate action. The delay has been criticized amidst calls for urgency, especially as victims continue to suffer. Sir Robert Francis, Sir Brian Langstaff, and victims have outlined their expectations for compensation. @kimleadbeater and @JohnGlenUK have also been urged to support the implementation of @bloodinquiry recommendations.
Thank you for supporting the #infectedblood community @kimleadbeater. Sir Robert Francis, Sir Brian Langstaff and victims have made clear their expectations around compensation. @JohnGlenUK, please bring your plan forward now and implement @bloodinquiry recommendations. https://t.co/nvuiv5ADCk
Thank you @LilianGreenwood for your support for the #InfectedBlood community. It's nearly a year since the @bloodinquiry published it's full and final recommendations on compensation. While the government delays victims are dying. Compensation is a matter of urgency. https://t.co/lTDOrEwvQ8
MPs are presenting petitions to demand the Government acts now on compensation for those infected & affected by the contaminated blood scandal. Justice delayed is justice denied. Thank you @lynbrownmp, @CatSmithMP, @MartynDaySNP, @RachaelMaskell, @GwynneMP & @ChrisStephens⬇️ https://t.co/3v8XB2unAd
At @CommonsLUHC inquiry on housing for disabled people, I asked a Director at @luhc how we can ensure that it’s not a postcode lottery for disabled people to have access to a wheelchair-accessible home.I also asked how Govt responds to local authorities not meeting this need. https://t.co/INaJvf2Gyj
At our @CommonsLUHC inquiry into disabled people in the housing sector, I asked the Minister if the findings of research commissioned by her Dept three years ago would be published in time for us to consider as part of our inquiry. It took a while to get to the answer. https://t.co/owlqbOzXku
After more than a year of waiting, the Government has finally responded to the @dMHBillCttee report on the draft Mental Health Bill. In that time, they kicked mental health into the long grass while patients continued to suffer.
The Government has accepted the “moral case” for compensation for those affected by the #InfectedBlood scandal, but there has been little meaningful progress in implementing it. Thank you @GwynneMP for demanding for justice. Compensation is a matter of urgency. https://t.co/Y0nb8TxzeU
