Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee: Inquiry into the recommendations of the Infected Blood Inquiry (Stage 1)

Committee hears from witnesses

The Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee is conducting an inquiry into the recommendations made by the Infected Blood Inquiry, a public inquiry that examined how thousands of people contracted HIV and hepatitis C through contaminated blood transfusions and blood products in the 1970s and 1980s. The committee will take oral evidence as it assesses what the government has done—and should do—to implement the inquiry's findings, which relate to compensation, systemic accountability, and NHS governance.

This inquiry affects thousands of victims and their families who suffered from one of the UK's largest medical disasters. The committee's examination will determine whether government action adequately addresses the inquiry's recommendations and whether victims receive proper redress and recognition for harm caused by state negligence. Public confidence in blood safety and NHS governance depends on Parliament overseeing implementation.
