The Government Led a Cover Up on NHS Tainted Blood Scandal
A public inquiry has concluded that the NHS and the Government took part in a “chilling” cover-up of the infected blood scandal which has claimed more than 3,000 lives. Sir Brian Langstaff, who chaired the five-year inquiry into the NHS’s worst treatment disaster, said doctors, civil servants and ministers had “closed ranks” to hide the truth for decades.
Reacting to the news, campaigners said the finding of evidence of a cover-up is “no surprise” and that they have been “gaslit for generations”. Meanwhile, the inquiry has also found that Lord Clarke misled the public over the dangers of infected blood products.
