Sir Brian Langstaff also suggested criminal trials could follow the independent Infected Blood Inquiry, as he promised to investigate allegations of a cover-up and hold those responsible to account.
His comments at the Inquiry’s opening on Monday came as it was confirmed former health secretaries, top civil servants and senior doctors would be compelled to answer questions in public about their involvement in the scandal for the first time. The Daily Telegraph
