Contaminated blood scandal: make drug companies pay!
Drug companies in the UK that played a role in the contaminated blood scandal should be forced to pay some - or all - of the compensation to victims. Please launch a lawsuit against the companies involved and demand they pay up.
Why is this important?
£10 billion. That's how much the compensation bill for victims of the contaminated blood scandal could cost. But who should pay? Right now, it'll be coming out of taxpayers money, but it SHOULD also be coming out of the pockets of global drug companies that played a role in the scandal.
In the US and Japan, drug companies like Bayer and Baxter were forced to give compensation to victims of similar infected blood scandals. Now MPs and campaigners say the Government should sue for the same to happen here in the UK. Will you sign the petition today and call on the Government's Legal Department to make sure any companies implicated in the scandal here pay the price.
