A recent report has unveiled that the UK government and NHS covered up a tainted blood scandal that resulted in thousands contracting HIV and Hepatitis C. The infected blood scandal, which occurred between the 1970s and 1990s, has led to significant public outrage and legal actions. Victims, including former pupils of Treloar's School, have described severe mistreatment and stigmatization. Many are now suing the government, criticizing the compensation plan as inadequate. MPs and campaigners are calling for global pharmaceutical firms to contribute to the £10 billion compensation fund. The scandal has highlighted deep cultural issues within the NHS, with calls for systemic reform to address its defensive and opaque nature.
