Tuesday’s front pages mostly cover the findings from the inquiry into the contaminated blood scandal – the biggest treatment disaster in NHS history. The inquiry, chaired by Sir Brian Langstaff, is the largest public inquiry ever carried out in the UK. More than 30,000 people were infected with HIV and hepatitis C from 1970 to 1991 by contaminated blood products and transfusions. Yesterday, in the Commons, the prime minister – and leaders of the opposition – apologised. The PM promised comprehensive compensation for the victims of the blood scandal.
Elsewhere, the ICC’s decision to issue arrest warrants for Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu also features on many of the front pages. Israel and the US have widely rejected the move. The ICC has suggested war crimes and crimes against humanity – including using starvation of civilians as a method of warfare.
