IAN BIRRELL: How can Ken Clarke treat the tainted blood inquiry with such callous contempt?

The Ken Clarke brand of politics his straight-talking and dis-hevelled style has, for many decades, provided a welcome relief from Westminster artifice and fakery. But for the past two days this portly peer has displayed a very different persona as he has squirmed under interrogation at the Infected Blood Inquiry, disdainful of proceedings and complaining of his exasperation at pointless and irrelevant questions. Bear in mind that this belated investigation is probing the worst treatment disaster in NHS history, a shameful saga of systemic incompetence, negligence and suspected cover-up that involved a massacre of innocents. Almost 3,000 haemophiliacs have died after being treated with blood products infected with hepatitis C and HIV among other contaminants supposed to enhance their lives in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Many more were left devastated, facing the lifelong consequences of such diseases.

Blood inquiry: Former health minister defends blood products advice on Aids

Giving evidence, former health minister Lord Clarke said the phrase was entirely accurate at the time. But documents show senior health officials thought it likely HIV could be carried in blood. Survivors have accused ministers of misleading the public by playing down fears of infection. The first reliable blood test for HIV was only available in March 1985, after many haemophiliacs had already been infected with the virus through a product called Factor VIII.
