Jesmond infected blood campaigner's anger over being 'left out' of key compensation meeting documents

As plans to draw up a "compensation framework" for victims of the contaminated blood scandal continue, longstanding Jesmond campaigner Carol Grayson has raised concerns about being left out of records of key recent meetings.
