Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what his Department's expected timetable is for completing consideration of reforms to the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme; and when he expects to bring forward proposals for reform of that scheme.
Answered by Mrs Sharon Hodgson
We would like to reiterate our deepest sympathies to all those individuals who have experienced harm following vaccination, and to their families.
The Government recognises that concerns have been raised in relation to the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme. Ministers remain committed to looking at the issues raised and to considering a range of options. I will update the House in due course on progress, as appropriate.
