Infected Blood Compensation Authority: Operating Costs

Asked by Tracy GilbertLabourCabinet OfficeTabled Answered 14 July 2025UIN 65679

The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what estimate he has made of the potential cost to the public purse of the (a) establishment and (b) ongoing administration of the Infected Blood Compensation Authority.

Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds

The Cabinet Office will lay IBCA's annual reports and accounts before Parliament in the usual way. The Cabinet Office will expect to be consulted by IBCA where there is a risk that IBCA will breach its administrative cost controls, or vary significantly from the agreed business plan.
