Final Report Published

Yesterday, the Infected Blood Inquiry published its final report which catalogued a litany of failings over decades. Sir Brian Langstaff, Inquiry Chair, said: 

"This disaster was not an accident. The infections happened because those in authority – doctors, the blood services and successive governments – did not put patient safety first.  The response of those in authority served to compound people’s suffering.  

The government is right to accept that compensation must be paid. Now is the time for national recognition of this disaster and for proper compensation to all who have been wronged.”
