Confirmed - Horrifying Scandal

Rishi Sunak: - A day of shame for the British state

“Today’s report shows a decades-long moral failure at the heart of our national life – from the National Health Service to the Civil Service, to ministers in successive governments, at every level the people and institutions in which we place our trust failed in the most harrowing and devastating way.

They failed the victims and their families and they failed this country.
Moral failure at the heart of our national life” in which doctors, civil servants and ministers had put reputations above patient safety.

On behalf of this and every government stretching back to the 1970s, I am truly sorry.

The final report concluded:
Health service and governments took part in a “chilling” cover-up, as they “closed ranks” to hide the truth, even destroying documents to keep patients in the dark.

the “horrifying” scandal could and should have been avoided, but a “catalogue of failures” led to “calamity”.
