Rod Liddle: UK Correspondent on the inquiry into Britain's infected blood scandal and the coverup - The Mike Hosking Breakfast

It's a day of shame after an inquiry into Britain's infected blood scandal suggests a cover up. 

More than 30,000 people received infected blood and products in the 1970s and 80s from the state-funded National Health Service. 

3000 people died and thousands more contracted hepatitis or HIV. 

The inquiry's found the government hid the truth to save face and expense. 

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is pledging financial compensation for those impacted. 

He says they'll pay whatever the scheme costs, with details laid out tomorrow.
