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.

US President Donald Trump left Beijing after a two-day summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping saying he had struck “fantastic trade deals, great for both countries”, but few details have emerged on what the two superpowers agreed.
Trade was near the top of the agenda despite recent tensions over the Iran war, and businesses hoped for key deals as well as an extension of the tariff truce that is due to expire in November.
