An investigation into Britain’s decades-long tainted blood scandal has found evidence of a ‘chilling’ cover-up by the British establishment, at a turning point that will ultimately see billions in compensation for the worst treatment disaster in the history of the respected National Health Service. .
“The scale of what happened is horrific,” Brian Langstaff, chairman of the official Infected Blood Inquiry, said in a report published Monday that blamed systemic, ethical and both individual and collective failures for a “calamity.”
The cover-up was “chilling in its implications,” he said. ‘To save face and costs, much of the truth has been concealed.’
