Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many new registrations there (a) have been with MFET Ltd and (b) were with MSPT 1 and MSPT 2 since those organisations were first established; whether new registrants are entitled to any lump sum payments; and when the most recent new registrant was registered with those bodies.

Since inception, 395 individuals have registered with MFET Ltd, with the most recent registration approved in 2013.

Approximately 1,250 individuals who were infected directly as a result of their treatment with NHS-supplied blood or blood products have received payments from the Macfarlane Special Payments Trust (MSPT) and the Macfarlane Special Payments Trust No2 (MSPT2), now dormant. Any new registrant whose claim is approved receives lump sum payments equal to what they would have received under MSPT and MSPT2.
