About this listen

 'This book should rock Whitehall to its foundations.' - Andy Burnham

'This is crusading journalism at its best.' - Lord Owen

The definitive account of the NHS infected blood scandal from Journalist of the Year at the British Journalism Awards 2024

In the 1970s and 1980s almost 5,000 people in the UK contracted HIV or hepatitis C after being infected by contaminated NHS blood products, including the notorious Factor VIII, yet no organisation or individual has ever been held to account. So far, more than 2,800 are known to have died, while tens of thousands more lives have been destroyed in the families of those affected.

Caroline Wheeler has been reporting on this scandal - the worst treatment disaster in the history of the NHS - for over two decades. She has been integral to the campaign for justice for the victims and their families, and played a pivotal role in persuading Prime Minister Theresa May to agree to the infected blood inquiry in 2019, the findings of which are expected to be published in late 2023.

Death in the Blood will be based on thousands of government documents, court and inquiry transcripts, plus interviews with prime ministers, cabinet ministers, Downing Street advisers, senior civil servants, doctors, and above all the victims and their families whose personal testimony forms the beating heart of this book.©2023 Caroline Wheeler (P)2023 Headline Publishing Group Ltd Biological Sciences Medical Professionals & Academics Science True Crime

Critic reviews

This is the definitive analysis of the worst health scandal in British history. The terrifying lengths that the state went to to hide this outrage should chill us all. Wheeler's compassion in her approach to the horror she uncovered will stay with me forever. (Professor Lucy Easthope, author of When the Dust Settles)
