More than 30,000 people in the UK - many across the South - were infected with HIV and Hepatitis C after being given contaminated blood products during the 1970s and 1980s.

A public inquiry into what has been called the biggest treatment disaster in NHS history began seven years ago and is due to announce its findings next month.

A government spokesperson said "We have consistently accepted the moral case for compensation, and that's why we have tabled an amendment to the Victims and Prisoners Bill which enables the creation of a UK-wide Infected Blood Compensation Scheme and establishes a new arms-length body to deliver it."

One group affected was pupils at Treloars School in Hampshire, a specialist facility for children who had haemophilia.
