A victim of the infected blood scandal has demanded the Government says when it will publish a key document that has been promised for eight months.
In June, the Government published a study into what a "framework for compensation " for those infected and affected by the scandal would look like, produced by top lawyer Sir Robert Francis KC. It pledged to publish its full response to Sir Robert's 19 recommendations - but has yet to do so.
Last week, in a Westminster Hall debate about the compensation framework, minister Alex Burghart appeared to row back on the promise to publish the Government position before the ongoing Infected Blood Inquiry concludes early next year. However it has now been indicated to The Times that the response - which would detail the Government position on 19 recommendations - will come before that.
