Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, with reference to his contribution of 9 September 2015, Official Report, column 88WH, when he expects the National Archives to publish those documents on contaminated blood from 1986 to 1995.
The documents have been transferred to The National Archives. They have advised that the documents will be released by 3 March 2016.
It should be noted that, as part of his inquiry, Lord Penrose had access to all documents on blood safety from the period in question, held by the Department.
