Contaminated blood scandal: Harrowing testimonies describe ordeal resulting from NHS treatments Witness statements given to the contaminated blood scandal inquiry are “harrowing” and “incredibly moving”, a former high court judge has said.
Sir Brian Langstaff promised the probe would be “frightened of no-one” and thanked victims for their bravery as hearings began into the NHS error which saw almost 5,000 people with haemophilia given blood containing hepatitis C or HIV in the 1970s and 1980s.
It has been described as the worst treatment disaster in the history of the NHS. The Independent
