A Hull man says he fears many people infected by the contaminated blood scandal won't live to see the outcome of a UK-wide inquiry.

A cash machine on a petrol station forecourt in Immingham has been set alight during a failed attempt to steal from it, police have revealed.
Image source, GoogleThe incident, involving three men, happened at about 03:30 on Thursday morning at the Blue Stone service station on Stallingborough Road.
The men had pulled off part of the ATM's casing before setting fire to it, but were then disturbed by a passing security patrol, according to police.
They made off in a silver coloured people carrier-type vehicle.
All three are described as in their late teens, and were all wearing grey hooded tops and black tracksuit bottoms.
Supt Ed Cook says: "This is not related to any recent incidents involving thefts of cash machines. It was a stand-alone ATM which three individuals tried to damage then steal from.
"The fact that a fire was set on a petrol forecourt causes me concern and we want to find these people as soon as possible," he adds.

A former education minister has urged Theresa May to appoint a "minister for good schools" to be based in Grimsby or Blackpool, with responsibility and funding for improving standards in poorly performing areas.
Image source, ThinkstockLord Adonis has also said that schools should be forbidden from expelling children unless they break the law to stop lives "going completely off the rails".
The peer told his colleagues during the annual Lords debate led by the Archbishop of Canterbury: "Deep poverty, pervasive drugs, obesity, anti-depressants and mental illness in a large isolated town exhibiting alarming signs of disintegration - including the largest encampment in Britain of children expelled from school.
"It's euphemistically called a pupil referral unit. Even more euphemistically it's run by an organisation called Educational Diversity, but it's basically a dumping ground for 330 children that schools want nothing to do with," he said.
"For Blackpool today, read also Hull, Grimsby, large parts of the North and the Midlands, and large towns in the South," Lord Adonis added.
