00:00 Those who have been infected or affected as a result of this scandal will receive
00:06 compensation. To be crystal clear, if you have been directly or indirectly infected
00:17 by NHS blood, blood products or tissue contaminated with HIV or hepatitis C, or
00:26 have developed a chronic infection from blood contaminated with hepatitis B, you
00:33 will be eligible to claim compensation under the scheme. And where an infected
00:39 person has died but would have been eligible under these criteria,
00:45 compensation will be paid to their estate. And this will include where a
00:52 person was infected with hepatitis B and died during the acute period of
00:57 infection. But Mr. Speaker, Sir Brian could not have been clearer. It's not just
01:05 the harm caused by the infections that requires compensation. It's also the
01:11 wrongs suffered by those affected that must also be compensated for.
