Thousands of people were infected with HIV and Hepatitis after being given contaminated blood by the NHS in the 1970s and 80s. Many have since died - more are gravely ill. The government has been directed to pay compensation to those affected and quickly, yet hundreds of people haven't received a penny. Jason Evans lost his father when he was four years old as a result of the infected blood scandal. He spearheaded a mission for truth and justice by setting up campaign group Factor 8 to demand a public inquiry and now he's fighting for the compensation agreed to be paid out. Joined with Des Collins, a formidable solicitor advocating for hundreds of victims, we delve into this shocking chapter of medical history and its ongoing implications. Hear their stories, the relentless hunt for damning documents, and the profound determination of victims fighting for their rights.
Des Collins and Jason Evans share invaluable insights about the bureaucratic red tape that has delayed compensation and justice for those affected. We dive into the intricacies of the Robert Francis report from 2022, the Langstaff report's recommendations, and what these delays mean for those still awaiting compensation.
Through their tales of persistence and resilience, Jason and Des will bring us face to face with the realities of trying to hold government officials accountable.

Hi listener. I thought you might enjoy Don Anderson's podcast. Missing Pieces - NPE Life is a podcast that curates stories of and about people who find out, usually through a home DNA test, that someone in their family tree isn't who they thought. They also tell stories of adoptees who've found lost family, or are looking. The host, Don Anderson, found out in 2021 that his dad wasn't his dad. It changed his life. NPE stands for Not Parent Expected or Non Paternity Event.
