VerbatimParliament, as it happens

Publication of the Infected Blood Compensation Scheme user-friendly explainer

Written ministerial statementMade by Nick Thomas-SymondsPaymaster General and Minister for the Cabinet OfficeCabinet OfficeHCWS565

In August 2024 we established the Infected Blood Compensation Scheme. Since then, we have enshrined the Scheme in law and published the Government’s Compensation Scheme Summary. I have been intent on producing a simple and user friendly explainer document. This was driven in part by feedback from the infected blood community and Parliamentarians that a shorter, more digestible document which sets out the key relevant information was necessary.

I am pleased to announce that today this has been published on gov.uk to coincide with the Infected Blood Compensation Scheme 2025 regulations coming into force. This document has been developed with key representatives from the infected blood community.
