Infected blood scandal: victims’ families call for action amid Post Office injustice

Many of those affected are frustrated their cause is not getting the same attention as the Post Office Horizon scandal

People affected by the contaminated blood scandal have called on ministers to also address their fight for compensation alongside government moves to fix the injustice suffered by sub-post office operators.

The ITV drama Mr Bates vs the Post Office has led to public uproar over the hundreds of people who were wrongly convicted of alleged theft, fraud and false accounting based on the Post Office's flawed Horizon IT system and action is being taken to look at ways of speedily quashing convictions and ensuring everyone is compensated.
