The final report from the Infected Blood Inquiry has been published, revealing a decades-long cover-up by the NHS and successive UK governments. The inquiry, led by Sir Brian Langstaff, found that over 30,000 people were infected with HIV and Hepatitis C from contaminated blood products between the 1970s and early 1990s. The report concluded that the scandal was not an accident but a result of a 'catalogue of failures,' 'downright deception,' and a 'chilling' cover-up. Documents were destroyed, and victims were betrayed over decades. Approximately 3,000 people have died due to the scandal, and victims could receive up to £10 billion in compensation. The inquiry has been described as a landmark moment for the victims, who have long awaited justice and recognition for their suffering.
