How do you measure the value of a human life?
People infected through NHS blood and blood products were subjected to unethical practices and many died as a result.
Today, many bereaved families are left asking why those who paid the ultimate price can receive substantially less compensation than those who survived.
For many of us, it feels as though the lives of our loved ones have been valued at less than the compensation once associated with research chimpanzees.
No family is saying that survivors deserve less.
We're asking why those who died after enduring so much appear to receive less recognition.
A life lost should never be worth less.

They should still be here.
These are just some of the faces of people whose lives were stolen by the infected blood scandal.
Their families have waited decades for justice.
Now, even in death, many bereaved families are facing delays, unfair rules and a compensation scheme that still fails to recognise their loss.
Death should never mean less justice.
We won’t stop fighting until every family receives the dignity, recognition and fairness they deserve.
Gone too soon. Never forgotten. ❤️

There are hundreds of infected blood scandal bereaved families in this position.
Interim payments to estates became law (in the Victims & Prisoners Act) two months ago, yet, people still can't even make applications for these payments to be delivered by @NHSBSA.

Almost 34 years after Margaret Thatcher refused a public inquiry. Tomorrow, the @bloodinquiry publishes its final report.
Salute to every single person who has fought for the truth, an inquiry and justice since that time and before.
This was excellent, very grateful to all involved.
Treloar group awesome, @cazjwheeler awesome, @vicderbyshire awesome. Remember, Every criticism and expression of anger is the tragic expression of an unmet need. Ignore the haters, this was great! Thank you!
Children of the Infected Blood Scandal carry the painful burden of losing parents to corporate greed. Lives claimed by faulty Factor VIII, and the betrayal cuts deep. We insist that justice must be served, @cabinetofficeuk.

The silent resilience of children who grew up without parents due to the Infected Blood Scandal speaks volumes. Their hardships, a living testament to the Factor VIII negligence. Time for action and recognition, @JohnGlenUK.
