Victims of the infected blood scandal say they remain angry despite £100,000 compensation payments.
A woman left infected with contaminated blood when she was a child has told how "no amount of money will replace having a normal healthy life".
During the 1970s and 1980s, NHS patients with blood disorders or those who had surgeries were treated with medication imported from the US. A public inquiry has since looked at recommendations for compensation for victims to cover things such as loss of earnings, care costs and other lifetime losses., which the government agreed, before a final recommendation is announced next year.As a young girl, Ms McKay was given a transfusion following open-heart surgery and was left HIV positive."I've now ended up with other health conditions, so I have to take lots of different tablets just to keep me alive.
