A man from Coventry, whose father died after being given infected blood in the 1970s and 1980s, says too many families will miss out on compensation.

The government has confirmed that the victims of the infected blood scandal will receive interim compensation payments of a 拢100,000 each.

That was the recommendation made last month by the chairman of the public inquiry in the scandal - which saw thousands infected with HIV and Heptitis through contaminated blood products.

Jason Evans told 大象传媒 CWR some families where relationships have broken down or widows and widowers have died do not stand to benefit.

The campaigner's father Jonathan died in 1993 after he contracted both HIV and hepatitis C during treatment. Jason was just 4 years-old.

He's been speaking to 大象传媒 CWR's Brody Swain.
