The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether the funding allocated to the Infected Blood Compensation Authority is drawn from the £11.8 billion set aside by the Government for infected blood compensation or provided from a separate budget.

Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds

In the Autumn Budget, the Government announced £11.8 billion in compensation to people who were infected and affected as a result of the Infected Blood scandal.

This is separate to the funding allocated to the administrative costs of the Infected Blood Compensation Authority.
