Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will publish Sir Robert Francis' Infected Blood Compensation Study before the Easter recess 2022.

It is my intention to publish Sir Robert Francis’ study alongside the Government’s response. Before I am able to do so, you will understand that work must be undertaken within Government to formalise our response. That work is already underway.

I recognise how important it is for the Inquiry and its core participants to have sufficient time to consider the study before Sir Robert gives evidence to the Inquiry. It is my intention to publish the study alongside the Government’s response as soon as possible.
