Summary
This is the transcript of a statement in the House of Commons by the Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak MP, in response to the publication of the final report of the Infected Blood Inquiry. He apologises for the failure in blood policy and blood products, the repeated failure of the state and medical professionals to recognise the harm caused by this and for the institutional refusal to face up to these failings. He also says that the Government will pay comprehensive compensation to those infected and affected by this scandal. This statement is followed by a response from the Leader of the Opposition, Sir Keir Starmer MP, and comments from other members of the House of Commons.
