  3. Contaminated blood: Victims and families win High Court rulingpublished at 16:56 British Summer Time 26 September 2017

    Victims and their families have won a ruling allowing them to launch a High Court group action seeking damages over contaminated blood products.

    A High Court official said it was "appropriate" to immediately issue a group litigation order allowing a potential 500 claimants - surviving victims of contamination and the families of the deceased - to join together to claim compensation.

    The official, Senior Master Fontaine, made the order despite opposition from lawyers acting for the Department of Health who argued the application was "premature".

    Blood

    The case concerns imported blood-clotting products derived from blood plasma which caused haemophiliacs and others to be infected with HIV and hepatitis in the 1970s and 80s and has so far led to the deaths of at least 2,400 NHS patients.

    The Hull North MP, Diana Johnson, has been calling for justice for victims, of which some are from Hull, for many years.

    NHS England is trying to solve the problem by recruiting doctors abroad.
