What I think should be changed:[edit]

Part of an edit requested by an editor with a conflict of interest has been implemented.

FIRST EDIT: At the end of the second paragraph, after Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry, the following should be added: Patrick McGuire represented Haemophilia Scotland and the Scottish Infected Blood Forum at the Inquiry^[1] and was the recognised legal representative for those affected by infected blood.^[2]^[3]

SECOND EDIT: In the Criticism Section I would like to request the following to be added as the second paragraph: In respect of compensation for those affected by infected blood, Patrick McGuire called upon the Scottish Government to sever ties with the "wholly inadequate schemes set up and administered by the UK government" and set up its own compensation scheme for Scotland.^[4]

THIRD EDIT: The penultimate line of this article is now incorrect. The following will bring the content up to date: On 17 August 2022, the Government announced that victims of the infected blood scandal across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland will each receive an interim compensation payment of £100,000.^[5]

Why I think it should be changed:

These edits name the legal representative of those affected by the scandal and the calls he made for better compensation schemes. The third edit request updates the page with a recent development.

Partly done Thank you for proposing these changes on the Talk page, particularly in light of the disclosure on the user talk page User_talk:ShimsCabot involving WP:PE and possible WP:COI. So I have only addressed the 3rd edit request as it involves what has, over time, become a factual inaccuracy. This has now been amended and I have added your suggested text for the 3rd edit and imported your chosen citation. I have decided not to address your first and second edit requests because I am concerned about maintaining WP:NPOV. SpookiePuppy (talk) 15:25, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
