UK government covered up infected-blood scandal which left victims exposed, report finds | BBC News
Authorities in the UK covered up the infected-blood scandal, knowingly exposing victims to unacceptable risks, a report has said.
The five-year investigation accused doctors, the government, and the NHS of letting patients catch HIV and hepatitis.
More than 30,000 people were infected, from 1970 to 1991, by contaminated blood products and transfusions, and about 3,000 have died.
Sir Brian Langstaff, who chaired the inquiry, said the scale of the scandal was "horrifying" and the authorities had been too slow to respond to the risks.
