Infected blood scandal: Connie asks, Is compensation enough?

On the phone in we're covering the infected blood scandal. Connie asks, Is compensation enough? Also, author Liz Pichon, fostering and bubble tea.

PHONE-IN
The UK Government is to announce details of a compensation scheme for victims of the infected blood scandal. A public inquiry accused doctors, governments and the NHS of failing patients, and found that the authorities covered up the scandal. Yesterday, Rishi Sunak apologised to victims, on what he described as a "day of shame for the British state". It's reported that compensation payments could total 10 billion pounds.
