That this House notes with concern the recent decision by Her Majesty's Government not to extend compensation payments to HIV sufferers who contracted the disease as a result of contaminated blood being given to them during National Health Service operations; and calls therefore for such patients to be compensated as were haemophiliac sufferers who contracted HIV by way of infected blood transfusions.
