@LuxMeaMundiAM Maybe try silicol gel. It's available at Holland and Barrett or sometimes Boots.

@HoCcommitteesUK @CommonsPAC you should look at the figures from 21/5 to 4/6 for the affected people

30 people paid on both updates yet the figures differ by nearly £400k

@IBCA_UK should be asked to explain also given over 14k people how come only 90 have been invited to claim?

@RealDonKeith Just like the infected blood scandal they are waiting for all of them to die

The memorial service may be over, but the long road to justice and peace is not for so many. We will continue to fight for the justice that all members of the infected blood community deserve.

A national service of remembrance was held today for victims of the contaminated blood scandal on the eve of the second anniversary of the Infected Blood Inquiry.
Yet, many impacted by the scandal are still waiting for compensation.

Incredibly moving service of remembrance for the victims of the contaminated blood scandal at St Paul’s Cathedral today. The fight goes on as so many still have not received justice and those infected with deadly diseases continue to die at the rate of almost three per week. #bloody disgrace.

Exclusive interview: The British state continues to avoid accountability over major scandals that cost lives, including the Hillsborough football disaster and the infected blood “calamity” that saw thousands contract fatal diseases, Andy Burnham has told the i Paper.

- The Mayor of Greater pledged to introduce the so-called Hillsborough Law “in its entirety” if he became Prime Minister as he accused the Government of “re-traumatising” victims of the contaminated blood scandal.

- In an interview marking the second anniversary of the Infected Blood Inquiry report, Burnham gave his “absolute support” to campaigners and criticised the Government for creating “new dividing lines” between victims and bereaved families through compensation rules.

- It comes as bereaved parents accused the Government of a cruel “cost-cutting exercise” after new compensation rules excluded the vast majority of parents who lost children to the infected blood scandal.

-As survivors of the worst treatment disaster in NHS history gathered at St Paul’s Cathedral on Tuesday for the first national memorial service, Burnham said he would “be with them every step of the way”, adding: “The fight is forever. There’s no justice until everyone’s got justice. My support for them will be absolute, whichever position I’m in.”

-The intervention comes as Burnham prepares for a return to Westminster in the forthcoming Makerfield by-election, backed by figures connected to some of Britain’s most high-profile justice campaigns. Families of Hillsborough victims are expected to campaign on his behalf, underlining Burnham’s long association with the fight for accountability after the 1989 football stadium disaster.

“Children who've lost parents, and parents who've lost children, are waiting and waiting and waiting. Frankly, the compensation authority just needs to get on with it.”

Tomorrow, a national memorial service for the victims of the infected blood scandal will be held at St Paul’s Cathedral – marking two years since the publication of the Infected Blood Inquiry’s Report.

Two years on from that triumphant day, we are still yet to see justice.

Infected Blood Scandal

At Treloar’s School, vulnerable school pupils were used as guinea pigs and forced to inject themselves with blood taken in secret trials.

They were unwittingly infected with HIV and Hepatitis. Over 75 pupils died, despite those in charge knowing the risks.

In Parliament, it was welcome to see that more compensation is set to be paid to victims of the infected blood scandal.

But we also need to see criminal charges against those involved in experimenting on our children…
