Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will make is his policy to implement any recommendations from the contaminated blood inquiry.
Until the report of the Infected Blood Inquiry is received it is difficult to commit to implement its recommendations. However, on receipt of the Inquiry’s report the Government will make a full statement to Parliament and will give the Inquiry’s recommendations full and proper consideration which we will do with the utmost urgency, recognising that many infected people have passed away since the start of the Inquiry, and every day that passes before the Inquiry completes its work risks further tragic losses.
