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.
Ms Grayson - whose husband Peter Longstaff and brother-in-law Stephen were both fatally infected with HIV through the blood products they were given to treat their haemophilia - and another campaigner and scandal victim, Colette Wintle, met with Sir Robert Francis QC in the run-up to Christmas.
But she says she's angry that a record of their meeting has not been published, even though Sir Robert's meetings with other groups of campaigners have been - and said this could be "damage limitation".
