A Surrey man who was injected with infected blood at a boarding school says he worries he will die before seeing justice.
Steve Nicholls, 58, who lives near Farnham, became infected with hepatitis C and Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) after unknowingly taking part in medical trials at Treloar's School in Alton, Hampshire, in the 1970s and 1980s.
Further hearings of the Infected Blood Inquiry, beginning on Wednesday, will focus on the government's response to compensation for those affected by the scandal, with Mr Nicholls adding there had been "very little progress" on the scheme.
A government spokesperson said infected blood victims had suffered "unspeakably" and that it remains committed to cooperating with the inquiry.
Mr Nicholls, a retired service engineer, went to Treloar's School while being treated for haemophilia alongside about 120 children who were also infected.
About 80 of those infected have died, with Mr Nicholls saying he is representing them and their families.
He added: "We knew that this was a tragedy that was no accident and we would fight to get the truth told. Whoever was left would fight and fight and fight."
