It's been predicted over £10 billion could be given to the victims impacted by Britain's infected blood scandal.
More than 30,000 people received infected blood and products in the 1970s and 80s, from the state-funded National Health Service.
3,000 people died, and thousands more contracted hepatitis or HIV.
UK correspondent Enda Brady says Prime Minister Sunak has pledged financial compensation for those impacted.
