Hello and welcome to Coehouse Shots, The Spectators Daily Politics Podcast.

I'm Isabel Hardman, and this is the Sunday roundup.

The final report on the infected blood scandal will be published on Monday. The scandal is the biggest

treatment disaster in NHS history with more than 30,000 people infected with HIV

and hepatitis C between 1970 and 1991. On Sky News, defense secretary Grant Shapps said he was

angry about the situation. Would you agree that this is one of the most shameful

failures of government in our lifetime.

Yes and has gone on over a very, very long period of time, decades.

I had actually constituents come and see me who lost their son in the infected blood scandal and they were showing me the photographs of,

this obviously happened a long time ago, but they were showing me the photographs of him and how he deteriorated and you know as a parent

anyone would you know hearing these stories would would absolutely agree with the premise of

your of your question. You make the point that it's been, it was a long time ago,

you saw those photographs.

It's embarrassing that, I mean, and it's tragic actually

that these people haven't had compensation.

I mean, what went wrong with the machinery? I mean, how is

it that so many people are now saying, I missed it? Well, talking to the parents, I haven't obviously seen the report yet and I think actually

by the way when that comes out tomorrow that's very important but that's a day for those who've been

affected like the constituents of mine rather than for government but we will

come back and respond quickly to it but listening to those parents who lost their

son I mean it just makes you angry inside to hear about all the different you

know essentially lack of anybody taking responsibility, mismanagement.
