   The UK embraced faggots and encourage them to pollute the blood supply   
   there.  Look what it did.   
      
   The family of an East Yorkshire man given contaminated blood products as a   
   child say they are sad that he did not live to see the end of an inquiry.   
      
   Nick Sainsbury had severe haemophilia, but his medicine left him infected   
   with HIV and hepatitis C.   
      
   He died last year at the age of 59, after giving evidence to the infected   
   blood inquiry.   
      
   His brother, Phil Sainsbury, said they are upset that he passed away before   
   the inquiry could report its findings.   
      
   "It's so sad because we're thinking Nick would have liked to have heard this   
   and obviously he's not here to do that," he said.   
      
   "It's just something that we're trying to come to terms with ourselves."   
      
   The government inquiry, led by former judge Sir Brian Langstaff, is due to   
   publish its report on 20 May, 2024.   
      
   The Haemophilia Society believes 650 people infected with contaminated blood   
   products, or their bereaved partners, have died since the inquiry was   
   announced in 2017.   
      
   More than 30,000 people in the UK were infected with HIV and Hepatitis C   
   after being given contaminated blood products in the 1970s and 1980s.   
      
   Haemophiliacs, who have a rare genetic condition which means their blood   
   does not clot properly, were given clotting agents made from donated human   
   blood plasma.   
      
   In the 1970s, the UK was struggling to meet the demand for blood-clotting   
   treatments so imported supplies from the US.   
      
   But much of the blood was bought from high-risk donors, such as prison   
   inmates and drug-users, and contained deadly viruses like HIV and hepatitis.   
      
   Mr Sainsbury said his brother's death had prevented Nick and his family   
   getting "total closure".   
      
   "In his last few years he was in a wheelchair most of the time," he said.   
      
   "He would definitely have got to the hearing on 20 May come no matter what.   
      
   "I would have been there with him and now I feel that without him there   
   isn't a final result for us."   
      
   The BBC has contacted the government for a response.
