Thousands of patients were lied to and given blood products that infected them with HIV and Hepatitis.
Doctors knowingly infected hundreds of children and then covered it up.
@AngelaWalkerReportsInterviews
Medical professionals and politicians put vulnerable patients at "unacceptable risk" the UK"s Infected Blood Inquiry report has found.
More than 30,000 people were infected with contaminated blood products administered by the NHS in the 1970s and 80s.
Join Angela Walker for a compelling, powerful and emotional discussion with Clive Smith, Chair of the Trustees of the Haemophilia Society, as we uncover the profound implications of the Infected Blood Inquiry's final report. Sir Brian Langstaff's findings reveal a scandalous decision in 1973 to license contaminated blood products, leading to preventable infections and a shocking cover-up by both medical professionals and government officials. Clive shares the deep personal and communal impact of this health crisis, emphasizing the conspiracy to conceal the truth and the failure to protect patients.
The episode delves into the government's controversial response to the reports from Sir Robert Francis and Sir Brian Langstaff concerning victim compensation. Listeners will hear about the skepticism surrounding the government's rapid overnight response, the unprecedented measures taken to ensure accountability, and the ongoing political complexities, including the calling of a general election. We also address the emotional toll on the affected community and the significance of an effective compensation scheme for the victims and their families.
Angela and Clive reflect on the historical context of the contaminated blood scandal, highlighting the political and administrative failures that perpetuated this tragedy. The conversation covers the harrowing experiences of those living with hemophilia, the tragic stories of co-infections with HIV and hepatitis C, and the broader systemic failures that allowed this disaster to occur. This episode is a testament to the resilience of the victims and their unwavering commitment to justice and patient safety.
