Andy Burnham, a former Labour health secretary, tells Sky News there needs to be 'accountability' in what is widely considered the worst treatment disaster in the history of the NHS.

Those responsible in the infected blood scandal should face prison, the mayor of Greater Manchester has said. Andy Burnham, who secured his third term as mayor in the local elections earlier this month, has also warned victims should not be left in the 'wilderness' waiting for justice.

' The inquiry is looking into how men, women and children treated by the NHS were given infected blood and infected blood products from 1970 onwards. Next week the inquiry will publish its final report into the evidence it has heard since it opened in 2019. Earlier this week Sky News reported how vulnerable pupils with haemophilia at Treloar's School in Hampshire were used as guinea pigs and forced to inject themselves with blood taken in secret trials.
