The Infected Blood Inquiry, led by former High Court Judge Brian Langstaff, has revealed the disastrous consequences of the unsafe administration of blood products in the 1980s in the UK. The report highlights a pattern of ignoring dissenting views, excluding relevant information, and making decisions without engaging with those affected. The government’s response to the crisis, including cover-ups and lack of transparency, has been widely criticized. The report contains numerous recommendations for improvement, emphasizing the importance of honesty and engagement in policymaking. The findings of the inquiry shed light on systemic dysfunction in decision-making processes in the UK.
