Rishi Sunak on Monday issued a “wholehearted and unequivocal” apology to the victims of the biggest treatment disaster in the NHS as he vowed they would be paid “comprehensive compensation”.
The Prime Minister said it was “a day of shame for the British state” after the Infected Blood Inquiry identified a “catalogue of systemic, collective and individual failures” that amounted to a “calamity” that was “no accident”.
