Bruce believes justice is coming thanks to Sir Brian Langstaff, chair of the Infected Blood Inquiry, but is angry that he is still waiting
A haemophiliac infected with hep C by the NHS 55 years ago is demanding the UK Government speeds up compensation payouts for sufferers who are dying at a rate of one every four days.
“I’d like to say it’s not about money but, at my age and after having to fight for every crumb of comfort for 33 years, there’s not really anything else that can improve my life and compensate my wife and kids.” “She was healthy, happy and looking forward to being a mother but I had to tell her she needed to have a test for hepatitis, and that maybe everything we hoped for might be ruined.”
Bruce remains angry at how infected blood products continued to be used, he believes, for many years after evidence first linked them to HIV and hepatitis C infections.
