Infected Blood Compensation Scheme update

Minister updates Parliament

The government will provide a ministerial update on the Infected Blood Compensation Scheme, which provides financial redress to thousands of people who contracted HIV, hepatitis C, or other infections through contaminated blood products supplied by the NHS in the 1970s-1990s. This statement will likely cover scheme progress, compensation payments, eligibility decisions, and support measures for affected victims and their families.

This is nationally significant because it affects thousands of British citizens who suffered life-altering infections due to systemic NHS failures. The Infected Blood Inquiry concluded in 2024, and compensation levels remain a major policy issue affecting public trust in the NHS and the government's commitment to historical justice for vulnerable patients.

Ministerial statements draw questions from across the House — any MP may participate, so we don't show a predicted interest list.
