NHS officials, like civil servants, have a duty to be candid. They just ignore it. In this case, some victims had important medical information withheld, others had their records altered or destroyed. The duty to be candid needs legislating so that failure to fulfil it is a criminal offence with serious penalties.

Hence the last Govt spoke well about fixing it but set aside no money to meet their promises because no-one held them to account - a Tory MP today when asked about the money said "we'd have found it from somewhere" - that Micawberish approach is no way to run a G7 country

I am getting heartily sick of this now - Hillsborough - Orgreave (no Inquiry yet ) - Grenfell ( 7 years and counting ) - Partygate and the bloods - when will people realise that Govts don't care about them except on voting day - the hive mind is that the organisation must not admit failure.
And can I just add I watched all of this today and Sir Brian Langstaff was magnificent - a total breath of fresh air
Labour , 12 billion. Hardly a mention in the press. A government that cares.

And why didn't they do anything between 1997 and 2010?
Not sure this is an issue to be turned into a party political point when both parties failed on this.

Not sure, but this is a totally different party and personals from 97.
Finally compensation for the blood scandal and post office victims. Tories had 14 years to do this.
