Tuesday 3rd June 2025

Asked by: Liam Conlon (Labour - Beckenham and Penge)

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what recent progress he has made on establishing an infected blood compensation scheme.

Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds - Paymaster General and Minister for the Cabinet Office

The Infected Blood Compensation Scheme is now established in law, the regulations having been approved by Parliament in March. The Infected Blood Compensation Authority (IBCA) began compensation payments to people who are infected in December last year. As of 20 May, IBCA has contacted 1,033 people to begin a claim for compensation and has made offers to 236 people, totalling over £206 million. IBCA’s aim is that all registered infected people will have been contacted to start their claim by the end of this year.
